CADRE Clean Beauty
Welcome to CADRE, a new kind of industry event that's part trade show, part speaker series, part workshop and part networking
Our inaugural event will bring together experts and entrepreneurs sharing and shaping the future of clean beauty.
Why CADRE?
Beauty founders don’t need more expensive coaching, macro trend reports, or generic advice—they need access, real conversation, and actionable strategies.
CADRE Clean Beauty is an intimate, interactive forum for founders who value connection, creativity, and collaboration. Created by two beauty industry veterans, this is a space to exchange ideas, refine vision, and engage in thoughtful conversation. No fluff, no gatekeeping—just tactical insights, meaningful relationships, and the support founders actually need to grow.
This two-day event is designed to provide the tools, insights, and hands-on experience to scale your beauty brand in today’s hyper-competitive market. Expect keynotes, panels, tactical workshops, and curated networking—focused on real learning and real impact.
