Beautycon is set to return to Los Angeles, rebranded as Beautycon University, on September 19. This one-day event, taking place in downtown L.A., marks the third standalone gathering since Essence Ventures acquired the brand in 2021. Ticket prices range from $50 to $250.
Actress and multi-talented star Keke Palmer will lead as dean of well-being, showcasing her Practice by Palmer initiative on the main stage. Palmer previously engaged attendees at the Essence Festival in New Orleans in July.
In addition to Palmer, Cardi B will make a special appearance with her Grow Good brand. The event, supported by Refinery29 and Sundial Media & Technology Group, will feature a university-style format with five study areas, including art and entrepreneurship, and aims to educate attendees about beauty and culture.
