Ireland's premier beauty trade event - the IBPA Irish Beauty Show - will take place on Sunday 5th and Monday 6th April 2009 at the RDS Simmonscourt, Dublin 4, in partnership with AIT and Irish Beauty magazine.

Firmly established as the key event in the Irish beauty calendar and Ireland's most recognised beauty event, the Irish Beauty Show 2009 will not only host an exhibition of leading suppliers and training providers but will also present exclusive new visitor attractions featuring the industry's top educators.

The show in 2009 will see a massive investment in marketing budgets and use the IBPA and AIT's comprehensive databases of therapists, salon owners and managers, nail technicians, Spa owners and managers, complementary therapists, and beauty colleges / training schools.

Back by popular demand, the Interactive Demonstration Area allows visitors to view live demonstrations of the latest product launches and treatment techniques presented by some of the leading names in our sector.

Sharon Harris, general manager of the IBPA, comments: "The IBPA Irish Beauty Show is Ireland's most recognised beauty event, and by working with AIT and Irish Beauty we are confident that the 2009 show will be the most successful in our three decade history. The IBPA is very excited by what the future holds."

AIT's Dave Horton adds: "Combining the marketing forces of the IBPA and AIT, along with the editorial and advertising coverage that Irish Beauty magazine offers, we can run an impressive and targeted marketing campaign for this show. We are delighted to be working alongside Ireland's most established beauty association to be able to bring this fabulous event to our members and professional therapists across Ireland."
