“This year’s IFRA Global Fragrance Summit comes at a pivotal moment for our industry,” said Martina Bianchini, President of the International Fragrance Association. “We are proud to bring together fragrance leaders from around the world to discuss how we can continue to innovate while meeting global safety and compliance standards”.
The IFRA Global Fragrance Summit is a key event in the sector's calendar. This is the first time IFRA is hosting the Global Fragrance Summit in the Gulf. Previous editions have occurred in Geneva, Sao Paolo, Paris, Barcelona and Singapore. These focused events attract fragrance executives, perfumers and creatives as well as regulatory experts.
“As we gather in Dubai, we are not only hoping to build bridges into a region which is central to the fragrance world but that has its own unique traditions and customs. Among the many topics we’ll be focusing on, we’ll also be discussing our newly launched IFRA Strategy, that will guide us and our sector into a more sustainable and collaborative future”, said Hans Holger Gliewe Chairman of IFRA. “This summit marks our first foray into the Gulf region and is an important milestone for the fragrance industry.”
The summit will highlight how fragrance companies can align innovation with regulatory compliance, supporting sustainable practices, promoting consumer safety and reinforcing environmental protection. Attendees will participate in key discussions on global trends, from the latest safety regulations to technological advancements driving the industry forward.
“Global Fragrance Summit 2024 represents a unique chance for dialogue not only between existing colleagues, but also with new local and international stakeholders. Only together can we face the increasing complexity of fragrance markets and customer’s preferences around the world”, concluded Mr Gliewe.
IFRA Global Fragrance Summit 2024 started on 30 October 2024 and continues tomorrow, 31 October.
