Our conferences
Summit Events are the organisers of the Sun Protection Conference and Anti-Ageing Skin Care Conference.
The Sun Protection Conference has been running biennially since 1993 and is one of the leading events in the industry calendar. Following on from the success of the Sun Protection Conference, the Anti-ageing Skin Care Conference was launched in 2008 to run in the alternate year, providing an in-depth analytical review of this vibrant and ever-changing industry.
From 1993 to 2021, the Scientific Programme Director of both conferences was Dr Jack Ferguson of Skinnovation Ltd (formerly of Boots Contract Manufacturing and Oriflame). The Scientific Programme Director is key to the success of the conferences, each year creating a top-quality programme with a carefully selected speaker panel aimed at showcasing the best innovation and latest technologies across the global skincare industry.
Following Dr Ferguson's retirement in 2022, the role was split: the Sun Protection Conferences Scientific Programme Director is Professor Paul Matts, R&D Vice President, Victor Mills Society, The Procter & Gamble Company, UK.
The Scientific Programme Director for the Anti-Ageing Skin Care Conferences is Dr Katerina Steventon, a skincare specialist with substantial experience of working at the clinical, commercial and research interface.
