LABX LIVE 2026: In-Person Learning Designed for Beauty, Barber, and Wellness School Educators and Owners
LABX LIVE returns September 12–14, 2026, in Rosemont, Illinois, bringing together educators, owners, and industry leaders for three days of transformative learning, collaboration, and continuing education.
Created specifically for professionals in beauty, barber, and wellness education, LABX LIVE is an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day demands of running classrooms and schools and focus on professional growth, new ideas, and meaningful connection with peers across the industry.
Attendees will experience hands-on learning sessions, collaborative discussions, and practical strategies they can immediately apply in their classrooms—while also earning valuable CE hours to support their continuing education requirements.
What Makes LABX LIVE Different
LABX LIVE is designed with the needs of educators and owners in mind. Every session, workshop, and learning track is created to support the real challenges educators face—from student engagement to instructional development and leadership growth.
Throughout the three-day experience, attendees will:
- Participate in hands-on workshops and interactive learning sessions
- Earn continuing education (CE) hours
- Explore strategies that elevate teaching and student outcomes
- Connect with fellow educators and school leaders
- Gain fresh inspiration and practical ideas to bring back to their schools
Rather than simply presenting information, LABX LIVE focuses on experiences that help educators put ideas into practice.
Earn CE Hours While Advancing Your Skills
For educators and licensed professionals, continuing education is a crucial part of maintaining credentials and staying current in the industry.
LABX LIVE allows attendees to earn CE hours while engaging in meaningful professional development designed specifically for education. Learning tracks and workshops provide practical takeaways that can immediately benefit both educators and their students.
By combining continuing education with hands-on learning, LABX LIVE offers an opportunity to grow professionally while fulfilling important licensing requirements.
The Power of Learning Together
One of the most valuable aspects of LABX LIVE is the opportunity to connect with other professionals who share the same commitment to beauty education.
Beauty, barber, and wellness school educators and owners often work within their own campuses or organizations. This makes it rare to exchange ideas with peers across the industry. LABX LIVE creates space for those conversations to happen.
From collaborative learning sessions to evening networking events like the Welcome Reception and LABX Social, attendees will build relationships that often lead to new ideas, partnerships, and lasting professional connections.
Why In-Person Learning Matters
While digital learning has its place, the industry is built on hands-on skills, collaboration, and real-time feedback. In-person learning allows educators to observe techniques, ask questions, share experiences, and engage more deeply with the material.
LABX LIVE is intentionally designed as an in-person learning experience, allowing attendees to fully immerse themselves in the workshops, discussions, and connections that make professional growth truly impactful.
