The 2016 edition of Russia’s largest perfumery and cosmetics trade show InterCHARM, which was held on 26-29 October in Crocus Expo, Moscow, welcomed 69,864 unique visitors, a rise of 11.3% compared to last year’s results.

Furthermore, for the first time, the show hosted a 2-day summit dedicated to retail in Russia and in the cosmetics industry in general. The Retail Connect Summit gathered brands and retailers onsite the show for a series of conferences and pre-arranged one-to-one meetings between retailers and their suppliers. A total of 422 meetings where organised between 34 perfumery and cosmetics suppliers and 25 leading Russian retailers.

The next edition of InterCHARM will open its doors on 25-28 October 2017 in Crocus Expo (Moscow).
