NEW SUMMIT DATES: Wednesday, 13^th & Thursday, 14^th May 2020

A difficult decision was made by the CTFA Executive to postpone the Cosmetic Industry Summit due to Xenophobic attacks experienced in South Africa earlier this year that posed potential safety and security concerns. The Summit was postponed from the original dates of 16^th and 17^th October 2019 to the 13^th and 14^thMay 2020 to be hosted at the IDC Convention Centre in Johannesburg. Delegates who have already registered to attend the 2019 Cosmetic Industry Summit will be contacted individually to discuss their registration status and the way forward.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
