BeautyCon launched in Los Angeles in 2012, and it has since expanded to include events in New York, Dallas and now London after more than 17,000 people voted to have the event visit the capital.
Anna Golden, commercial director at Olympia London, said: "LiveNation selected our most contemporary event space, Olympia West, which is ideally suited to the young event and also presents the opportunity for growth, with bigger spaces available in future."
Moj Mahdara, chief executive officer at BeautyCon, added: "Without the demand from our growing fan-base, we wouldn’t be bringing BeautyCon to the UK and we are really excited to expand our community across the water for the first time. BeautyCon is the place to be for young, tech-savvy influencers who want to create unique, sharable content for their fans featuring their favourite brands.
"BeautyCon fans are a powerful new force in popular culture, skilled in making digital content an integral part of their day-to-day lives. Our panel of experts have a wealth of knowledge to share across a manner of beauty, fashion and blogging topics and have the ability to move markets by driving audience awareness, keeping their fans one step ahead of the beauty and fashion calendar."
