IFSCC Global Events
The IFSCC Congress
The IFSCC Congress is the most important annual global scientific cosmetic conference there is.
Prior to 2023 we alternated between a Congress in even years, and a Conference in odd years.
Beginning in 2023, however, the IFSCC began offering only Congress every year.
