meet your Speakers
the educators teaching you how
to pivot & thrive
LASHCON is built for lash artists who want to grow with intention. As we head to our new venue in San Diego, this year’s agenda is designed around the real questions and challenges artists are facing right now.
Power Your Growth
Keynote Conversations
Big ideas are powerful, but real insight comes from experience. Keynote Conversations bring you into the stories behind the success. Industry leaders share the pivots, risks, and lessons that shaped their careers, giving you perspective you can apply long after the weekend ends.
Breakout Sessions
Breakout Sessions are where the real work happens. These focused classes dive into the techniques, strategies, and systems artists are using right now to grow their skills, businesses, and careers. Expect practical insights you can take home and start applying immediately.
Panels
Panels bring multiple perspectives to the same conversation. Hear honest discussions from artists, educators, founders, and innovators about the challenges and opportunities shaping the industry. These sessions are designed to spark new ideas and give you a broader view of where the industry is headed.
Sponsor Suites
Our partners don’t just exhibit. They teach. Sponsor Suites are curated learning spaces hosted by leading brands where you can explore new products, techniques, and ideas in a more intimate setting. These sessions offer hands on insights and direct access to the people building the tools artists rely on every day.
