On behalf of CIDESCO International I would like to invite you to join us for the 59th CIDESCO World Congress and Cosmetic Exhibition, to be hosted by CIDESCO Section Sweden, in Stockholm- the Royal Capital of Sweden.

Stockholm, one of the most beautiful capitals in the world, is built on 14 islands connected by 57 bridges. The beautiful buildings, the greenery and the fresh air are distinctive traits of this city. With its 750 years history and rich cultural life, Stockholm offers a wide selection of world- class museums and attractions.

The theme of the Congress “Beauty on Water” perfectly reflects on Stockholm’s proximity to the water and also emphasizes the significance of water in the world of Beauty and Spa therapy for good health and wellness.

Highlighting the global development and the future of Beauty Therapy, this congress will give you the opportunity to experience an exciting program with lectures from international speakers and to enhance your knowledge, skills and techniques and to also explore the exhibition with the latest in beauty therapy equipment, cosmetic products and services.

Section President Elisabeth Engström and Section’s working committee promise that the 59th CIDESCO World Congress will be a truly memorable venue as they plan a very interesting educational program and exhibition, combined with exciting social events- including a Gala dinner in the City Hall where the Nobel Prize winners gather for their dinner and also a dinner tour at archipelago sea.

Join your CIDESCO colleagues and friends from all over the world for this prestigious event and make it a unique and delightful experience. Look forward to seeing you all in Stockholm- the Green Capital of Europe for 2010!

President, CIDESCO International
