What is Global Fragrance Summit 2024 about?
“A world of fragrance: building bridges between innovation and global regulation”
Under the theme of building bridges between innovation and global regulation, this year’s global fragrance summit of the international fragrance association IFRA draws upon the proximity of the BeautyWorld Middle East.

IFRA helps members and customers to be aware of potential ingredient concerns so they can more consciously create amazing fragrances while considering consumer and environmental protection as overarching principle. Making this bridge between innovation and global regulation guides innovations into the direction of sustainability and enhances the competitiveness of companies, large and small in the global marketplace.
Who is attending?
Open to all, the IFRA Global Fragrance Summit brings together all actors in the fragrance value chain: Regular IFRA members in multinational fragrance houses, National Member Associations, SMEs, upstream supplier companies, downstream consumer goods companies, partner associations, governments, media and stakeholders.
