The Spanish Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SEQC) is a non profit professional organisation, which brings together more than 1000 people with scientific backgrounds who operate in the Cosmetics and Fragrance industries. A group of chemists created the association in 1958 with two clear objectives: to establish contact with other professionals in the cosmetic sector and to establish relationships with similar societies in other countries. The society has several key objectives, including: the promotion of scientific and technical development of cosmetics and fragrance in Spain, the training and specialization of young people entering the sector and keeping all professionals up to date with the latest developments in the industry.

Furthermore, the SEQC is a society which collaborates with other institutions and with the government on Cosmetic and Fragrance industry issues. With regards to its external approach, the SEQC forms part of the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) and is the world’s 5^th biggest cosmetics society in terms of membership numbers.

In 2016 the SEQC created COSMETORIUM, an event for the Cosmetics Industry, which focusses on the formulation, manufacture and distribution of cosmetics.  In 2021 the fith edition of COSMETORIUM will take place in the Palau de Congressos de Barcelona, ​​ Fira 1, Montjuïc from October 20-21.

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:

• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
• ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions

Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.

ACI is doing everything to ensure that all its events go ahead as advertised, returning to the much-missed and valuable face-to-face interaction as soon as possible.  In order to ensure the events are delivered as safely as possible, venues are chosen and procedures are adjusted in line with the relevant local and regulations and guidelines.

These have been exceptionally challenging times with very fast-moving updates. As we get closer to an event we look at each one individually, paying careful heed to local regulations, but without ignoring the international situation. Whatever happens, ACI will safeguard the investments that attendees have made by either automatically moving it to the new dates of the event or a full credit will be provided for use when booking a future ACI event.
