The 53rd edition of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna has been rescheduled once again. After being canceled in 2020 and postponed several times in 2021, the Italian leg of the beauty trade show is now expected to be staged next year, running March 10 to 14.
The event will maintain its format targeting companies and buyers by dividing its dates according to product categories.
In particular, Cosmopack — dedicated to supply chain operators — and Cosmo Perfumery & Cosmetics, focused on perfumery and body care lines for the retail, prestige and masstige channels, will both run March 10 to 13. Opening and closing a day after these dates, Cosmo Hair, Nail & Beauty Salon will host companies and operators of finished products, equipment, furnishings and services for the professional industry.
As reported, in the past few months the fair’s organizer BolognaFiere tweaked the show’s traditional schedule and moved the event forward compared to its usual March dates to run first in May, and then in September amid increasing concerns from associations and industry operators about the development of the pandemic in Italy.

Therefore, an event will be exceptionally organized with an unprecedented format,” he said, without disclosing details save for its dates, which will be Sept. 9 to 13.
