Attending industry events gives you a chance to explore first-hand the advancements that can benefit your practice and patients.

You can also often connect with representatives from leading companies, discuss product features, and gain insights into how these innovations can optimise patient care and outcomes.
7. Gain insights about the future of aesthetic medicine
Aesthetic medicine is a rapidly growing and evolving field, which is what makes it such an exciting industry to be a part of, but it is also what makes staying on top of the latest advancements, techniques, and trends crucial for healthcare professionals like you. No matter how experienced you are, there is always something to learn and to improve.
Trending patient treatment requests, new face-to-face prescribing requirements, cutting-edge techniques to master: make sure to know the latest aesthetics updates to stay ahead of the curve.
8. Attend engaging and motivational sessions
Being surrounded by peers who share the same enthusiasm for aesthetics can reignite your passion for your career, especially if you’ve been in the industry for a long time, as well as motivating those who are new to the field to get started. Engaging in conversations, hearing success stories and witnessing groundbreaking advancements can inspire practitioners to push boundaries and explore new avenues in their practice.
9. Increase your CPD hours
These industry events also offer opportunities to gain continuing professional development (CPD) hours, the learning activities doctors need to undertake to maintain professional standards and demonstrate they are keeping up to date in their field.

How to make the most of an aesthetics event
Aesthetic medicine events are one of the best ways to improve your knowledge and skills, while simultaneously networking with new colleagues in the industry. They are a fundamental part of anyone’s practice and career in the aesthetics industry – whether you are right at the beginning of your journey, or already running a well-established clinic.
To ensure you get the very most out of attending any in-person conferences or workshops, follow these tips.
Plan your visit
- Do some research about the venue: how to get there, accessibility, prohibited items, parking options.
- Plan your day: aesthetics events, such as Interface Expo, have dedicated apps that give you instant access to the programme, speaker bios and exhibitor lists. Remember to download apps before attending.
- Reach out to the speakers or attendees you would like to meet on social media or by email and schedule quick chat sessions with them during the day.
- Bring essentials: your laptop, your smartphone, a notebook, a pen, a water bottle and a power bank!
Network where and when you can
Rather than trying to speak to everyone during networking sessions, identify a small number of individuals whose work you truly admire. Reach out to them a few weeks before the event: it breaks the ice and increases the chance of connecting on the day.
Remember, networking isn’t just something that “happens”: it’s a skill and a strategy. Many events run structured networking sessions, informal lunch or evening socials, drink receptions, or even awards ceremonies.
These are all also excellent spaces to meet peers, mentors, and future collaborators. Think of them as an extension of the main programme: the conversations you have while waiting in line for your coffee order can be as career-changing as the most insightful lecture.
Many dedicated apps also allow you to connect with other delegates or book meetings with sponsors and partners: make sure to use these apps to save precious time and exchange information details. These will be very valuable to follow up with your new connections.
Follow up with the people you met at the event
Networking does not only happen during events. To increase your chance of building meaningful and long-term partnerships with peers or industry leaders, follow up with your contacts. Remind them who you are, where you met, and what you discussed.
Networking events are great, but can sometimes be overwhelming: at the end of the day, you don’t remember the name of half the people you talked to. It’s the same for the people you met, so a little reminder is always welcomed.
Take professional development to a whole new level
When attending an aesthetic medicine event, make sure to come prepared: do your research about sponsors, speakers, sessions and networking sessions. If you’re just starting out, you might focus on mentorship schemes, training providers, or start-up-friendly business services. If you’re established, you may be curious about integrating energy-based devices or expanding into new treatment categories.
By planning ahead, embracing technology and networking opportunities, and being intentional about who and what content you engage with, you can ensure your time is invested wisely and that you leave with new knowledge, new connections, and renewed motivation for your practice.
Aesthetics events provide a platform for staying updated on the latest advancements, exploring new technologies, earning certifications, and finding inspiration. Attend industry events to position yourself at the forefront of the field, deliver exceptional patient care, and contribute to the continuous evolution of aesthetic medicine.
If you haven’t done it yet, register for the next must-attend event in aesthetics: Interface Expo 2025. Expect dedicated networking sessions, live injection demonstrations, UK and international speakers, and the opportunity for professional growth.
