Early bird ticket pricing set to end this month.
Published:The Phorest Summit 2027 will take place at the Gleneagle Arena in Killarney on 24 and 25 January 2027, bringing together salon, spa and clinic owners and managers for two days of education, networking and inspiration.
Formerly known as the Salon Owner’s Summit, the event has been renamed to reflect the wider range of hair, beauty and medi-aesthetic businesses it now serves. The 2027 edition will also be the first Summit to take place outside Dublin, following 10 previous editions in the Irish capital.
The theme for the 2027 event is ‘Beyond: What the Future Holds in Our Industry’, with sessions exploring how businesses can respond to industry change and make use of emerging technology, including AI, while maintaining the personal relationships at the heart of the client experience.
The first speaker announcement includes Jon Petz, a keynote speaker, magician and mentalist who performs as an ‘Amazement Artist’. His session will focus on performance and presence when leading a team, as well as the small details that can influence how clients remember their salon experience.
Also joining the line-up is Stefanie Sword-Williams, founder of F*ck Being Humble, TEDx speaker and author. Sword-Williams will focus on helping salon owners and their teams communicate their value with confidence.
Elfried Samba will also take to the stage. Samba previously spent seven years at Gymshark as Global Head of Social Content and Community, helping the company grow from one million to 20 million as the brand passed a £1 billion valuation. He now runs creative house Butterly 3ffect and will share insights into building a brand without a large media budget.
“Owners spend the year solving problems for everyone else. Two days in Killarney gives them the room, and the people, to work on their own business,”
– Ronan Perceval, Phorest Founder & CEO.
The Summit will also feature music, food and entertainment, alongside opportunities to connect with more than 750 owners, managers and industry professionals. Attendees will also receive an early hands-on look at new Phorest AI tools and product releases ahead of their general availability.
Early bird pricing ends on 30 September 2026, with tickets for both days currently available via the Phorest Summit website HERE.
