Tara commits fellow big girls to beauty summit

Tara

Leading cosmetics brand, House of Tara International, is set to host 1000 Voices, a national beauty entrepreneur summit on 8 November, 2017 at Harbour Point, Victoria Island, Lagos with big girls that include Ibukun Awosika and Linda Ikeji as speakers.

The event, which brings together beauty entrepreneurs, retailers, re-sellers, makeup artists, investors and other stakeholders to celebrate entrepreneurial excellence within Nigeria’s beauty space, builds on House of Tara’s 2013 100 Voices campaign, which focused on celebrating individuals contributing to the development of the ecosystem, despite the odds.

Over the years, the industry has experienced tremendous growth amidst economic fluctuations due to efforts of pioneers such as House of Tara, leading to an increase in demand and supply of beauty products. House of Tara currently works with over 10,000 beauty entrepreneurs annually, with these individuals massively contributing to the growth of the cosmetics industry.

Speaking during the announcement, Tara Fela-Durotoye, founder/CEO, House of Tara International, said, "I am always excited when we get to have a large number of our beauty representatives, make-up artists, re-sellers and other stakeholders gathered, all for a collective mission.

"These group of people consistently play important roles in the development of the beauty industry, and this summit provides us the opportunity at House of Tara to engage, share ideas and learn from them. It also always reminds us of the primary reason why we started this business."

The summit features an impressive lineup of speakers including Ibukun Awosika, Chairman, First Bank; Linda Ikeji, media entrepreneur; and Tara. There’ll be diverse topics on social media, finance, branding and makeup, as plenary sessions will also be held with Google Nigeria, First Bank, Bimpe Onakoya of Maybelline, and hosted by social media entrepreneur, Olori Supergal.

The event rounds up with an awards ceremony to recognise individuals helping to create a new reality in the beauty industry.

The summit is supported by MTN, First Bank PLC, Nestle, Google, Fayrouz, MainOne, LSETF, Arik Air, Businessday, Renodio Synergy, Dolps n Bolps, , Linda Ikeji TV, EbonyLife TV, Olori Supergal, GiGM.com, Baby Lounge, Greater Washington, TDegree, Levitate Creative, Golden Horse Cosmetics, Maybelline, among others.
