The 1st Women in Aesthetics Conference & Awards 2026

Welcome to WiA – Women in Aesthetics

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is with immense pride and purpose that we welcome you to the first-ever WiA – Women in Aesthetics Conference and Awards, a groundbreaking initiative by Safety in Beauty. This is more than just an event – it is a movement, a revolution, and a heartfelt celebration of the extraordinary women who shape, serve, and strengthen the aesthetic and beauty industries every day.

Across the globe, women are the powerhouse behind the aesthetic sector. In the UK alone, over 90% of the beauty and aesthetics workforce is female, with women leading the way in clinical practice, product innovation, patient care, and business development. From consultant surgeons to advanced aesthetic therapists, from anti-aging and wellness experts to business strategists, support services, and distributors, the landscape of aesthetics is rich with female talent, ambition, and ingenuity.

WiA recognises that behind every successful clinic, every breakthrough treatment, and every glowing client, there is often a team of remarkable women making it all possible – not just as medical and allied healthcare professionals, but also as entrepreneurs, educators, scientists, and pioneers.

This inaugural gathering marks the beginning of a legacy. WiA is not simply about bringing women together in one room – it’s about creating lasting connections, lifting each other up, and forging a future where diverse female voices are not only heard but celebrated.

We welcome you to be part of this exciting first chapter – whether you’re a surgeon, a nurse, a formulator, a business founder, or the essential support that keeps everything running behind the scenes. Together, we are stronger. Together, we are WiA.

With gratitude and excitement,

Antonia Mariconda - Founder & Host
