2026 BEAUTY IS BORDERLESS SUMMIT
Beauty is Borderless Forum 2026: Advancing the Global Beauty Dialogue
Beauty moves across borders through ideas, innovation, culture, creativity, commerce, and collaboration.
At a time when markets and societies are increasingly fragmented, the need for meaningful international dialogue has never been more relevant.
The 2026 Openstreams Global Beauty Industry Summit: Beauty is Borderless Forum will bring senior leaders from across the global beauty ecosystem to the United Nations Headquarters in New York for an invitation-only exchange of perspectives, priorities, and opportunities.
Organized by the nonprofit Openstreams Foundation, the Summit offers a neutral, non-political, and non-promotional setting where leaders from different regions and sectors can engage beyond their usual networks.
A rare opportunity to bring global beauty’s different perspectives into one room.
Connecting the Public & Private Sectors in Global Beauty
The Openstreams Global Beauty Industry Summit connects senior business leaders driving innovation, investment, and growth with representatives of government-related associations and international trade show organizations.
Held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the Summit brings business and institutional perspectives together to help shape the future of global beauty.

Bridging Markets, Categories & Perspectives
In a rapidly changing world, global dialogue matters more than ever.
The beauty industry has always transcended borders. Ideas, innovation, talent, and creativity move across markets and cultures, while decisions made across the industry shape how products reach consumers, businesses grow, and new opportunities emerge. Yet leaders from different markets and sectors rarely have the opportunity to exchange perspectives in the same room.
Beauty is Borderless brings together senior business leaders with representatives from industry associations, international trade shows, media, and other influential platforms from around the world. Through direct dialogue, they will share what they are seeing in their markets, where priorities are shifting, and where opportunities are emerging.
The conversation looks beyond established markets and networks to deepen understanding, build new relationships, and explore how the industry can work more effectively across borders.
No single market, company, or perspective holds all the answers. By bringing different voices into the same room, we create space for dialogue, connection, and new possibilities.
Beauty is Borderless.
