Becoming a LASHCON Speaker Could Change Your Life

Picture yourself standing on the biggest lash stage in the industry. The lights hit just right. You look out at a packed room, filled with artists just like you—people who have faced the same struggles, fought through the same doubts, and are now hanging on to your every word.


For years, you’ve been working on your craft, building your business, and figuring things out through trial and error. Now, you have the chance to pass on that knowledge and help others grow.


That’s what being a LASHCON speaker is all about. It’s not just about teaching techniques or sharing tips. It’s about empowering lash artists to believe in themselves, take action, and create the careers they’ve always wanted. It’s about making an impact.


But beyond the emotional fulfillment, let’s talk about the opportunities this creates for you.

Why Should You Want to Speak at LASHCON?

1. Establish Yourself as an Industry Leader

Being a featured speaker at LASHCON isn’t just an honor—it’s a powerful way to position yourself as an expert. Lash artists trust educators and industry speakers. That trust turns into new clients, new students, and new business opportunities.


When people see you on stage at the biggest lash event of the year, they see you as someone who knows their stuff. That credibility helps you:

  • Attract more high-paying clients
  • Grow your social media following
  • Sell out courses, trainings, or mentorship programs
  • Open doors to collaborations and sponsorships with top lash brands


When you establish yourself as a speaker, you’re no longer just a lash artist. You’re a leader.

2. Get in Front of Lash Brands & Career-Changing Connections

Want to collaborate with top lash brands, become a brand ambassador, or even launch your own product line? LASHCON puts you in the room with the decision-makers who can make that happen.


Speaking at LASHCON puts you on the radar of:

  • Lash brands looking for educators and ambassadors
  • Industry leaders who can offer mentorship and partnerships
  • Event organizers who are scouting talent for future speaking gigs


One speaking engagement can open so many doors. And it all starts by getting your name, face, and expertise in front of the right people.

3. Build Confidence & Step Into Your Power

Let’s be real—public speaking can be terrifying. But stepping on that stage and owning your expertise is one of the most empowering things you will ever do.


There’s something transformational about hearing yourself say, out loud, “I am an expert. I have something valuable to share.”


The confidence you build as a speaker doesn’t just stay on stage. It carries over into your business, your social media presence, and the way you communicate with clients. You’ll walk away from LASHCON as a stronger, bolder, more confident version of yourself.

4. Inspire & Uplift the Next Generation of Lash Artists

Remember when you were just starting out? Remember how lost, overwhelmed, or discouraged you sometimes felt? Imagine if you had someone standing in front of you, sharing the exact advice and motivation you needed to hear.


That’s what you get to do as a LASHCON speaker.

This is your chance to give back to the industry that changed your life. To help other artists skip the mistakes, fast-track their success, and believe in themselves the way someone once believed in you.


This isn’t just about growing your own career—it’s about lifting others up with you.
