Aveda Congress 2018: Know What We're Made Of

Aveda, the Art and Science of Pure Flower and Plant Essences, is gearing up for Aveda Congress 2018: Know What We’re Made Of, taking place October 6 -9 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, in Minneapolis, MN, the global headquarters of Aveda.

A global celebration in honor of the craft of hairdressing and the Aveda network, Aveda Congress is a four-day event that recognizes top talent, inspires and educates with technical and creative presentations, and fosters a deep sense of connection to Aveda’s heritage of distinctive artistry and social responsibility.

This year’s Aveda Congress honors the brand’s 40th anniversary through the multi-faceted modern theme of Know What We’re Made Of. The theme takes a cue from the new brand campaign “Know What You’re Made Of” with the idea to dive deeper into the Aveda network and learn what the fans, followers, and Aveda Artists are made of. And while Congress supports the Aveda network, the event is open to all beauty professionals worldwide.
