BeautyCon, the summit custom tailored for the internet’s most influential digital and online fashion and beauty trendsetters, arrives in Los Angeles in great style to stage the largest and most vibrant conference of its kind to date. It is an industry watershed, representing the reality that the world of online video is growing exponentially, with viewership of some programs in the millions.

They include Geri Hirsh (Blogger, becauseimaddicted.net), Andrea Brooks ( YouTuber, Andrea’s Choice), and P’Trique ( “Sh*t Fashion Girls Say” and America’s Next Top Model). Members of The BFVA (The Beauty and Fashion Vloggers Alliance) will also be in attendance, making BeautyCon the center of the fashion/beauty internet programming universe. Throughout the event, attendees will be networking to report industry news, discuss the future of online media, and explore new career opportunities.

BeautyCon’s 2013 philanthropic partnership is with I AM THAT GIRL (www.iamthatgirl.com), a charity that connects thousands of young women nationwide with peers and role models who are dedicated to speaking their truth, collaboration, and creating safe space that inspires them to transform self- doubt in to self-love, ultimately allowing them to emerge as successful, healthy adults.
BeautyCon is the brainchild of Marina Curry, who started her own YouTube channel covering fashion and beauty, Her success prompted her to form the BFVA and BeautyCon.
“I embraced the challenge of creating beauty and fashion content and presenting it as a viable addition to traditional print and electronic fashion and beauty-related media,” said Curry. “I wanted to create an alliance of like- minded content creators, and from there, put together BeautyCon as a destination where online content creators could interact and enjoy a tangible experience.”
