Jamaica International Beauty Expo a success – organisers

ROSE HALL, St James —Organisers of the recently held inaugural staging of the Jamaica International Beauty Expo at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in Rose Hall, St James, last weekend, have hailed the event as a success.

“The feedback from all stakeholders has been positive. Based on our registration, we are looking at some 4,000 attendees over the three days (Friday to Sunday), and our exhibitors are expressing satisfaction with sales and the opportunities to highlight their products and network,” expressed Suzette Brown, coordinator, Jamaica International Beauty Expo.

“Our sponsors are particularly happy, the attendees were happy with the representation of Jamaican products, and with those factors considered we really can’t ask for much more.”

Jamaica Observer West brings you highlights from the three-day expo.
