Speaker + Educator Opportunities · NBBS 2027
NBBS 2027 brings back what the industry has been missing — a main stage built for the best barbers and beauty professionals in the country.
Live demonstrations. Friendly competition. Big-room energy.
If you have something to teach — craft, business, technology, or brand — this is your room. Apply to be part of the education track or take your place on the main stage.
The Invitation
NBBS is building a room for barbers, beauty professionals, educators, founders, platforms, and operators who can bring real instruction, real energy, and real value to the industry.
This is where live demonstrations, education tracks, main stage moments, and industry-shifting conversations meet.
Craft matters. But the stage is bigger than technique alone. NBBS is also making room for ownership, technology, visibility, infrastructure, brand building, and the business moves most events never touch.
Big-room demonstrations, memorable moments, and the kind of live energy that makes people want to be in the room.
Sessions that teach craft, business, technology, or brand with clear takeaways attendees can actually use.
Barbers, beauty professionals, founders, operators, and outside voices bringing proof, perspective, and practical value.
Education Track + Main Stage
NBBS programming is built around four pillars — craft and technique, ownership and strategy, platforms and infrastructure, and brand visibility. Educators can apply for any track, and the main stage is a separate opportunity for live demonstrations and high-energy moments.
01 · The Art
For licensed barber and beauty educators, platform artists, technique leaders, and beauty professionals who can teach skill with precision, context, and stage presence.
02 · Business
For operators, founders, attorneys, accountants, lenders, investors, and builders who can teach the business moves that help professionals build beyond the chair.
03 · Tech + Tools
For booking platforms, POS systems, automation tools, retention experts, AI builders, and tech companies serving modern barber and beauty businesses.
04 · Visibility
For creators, marketers, media leaders, social platforms, PR experts, and founders who understand how attention turns into opportunity.
Who We’re Looking For
NBBS is looking for barbers, beauty professionals, educators, founders, operators, platforms, and outside voices who can teach what this industry needs next — on the education track, the main stage, or both.
Barbers and beauty professionals with the skill, presence, and energy to deliver live demonstrations that feel memorable, exciting, and worth gathering around.
Licensed barber, beauty, grooming, and wellness educators who can teach craft with precision, clarity, stage presence, and real-world application.
Product founders, service founders, and operators who can speak honestly about growth, positioning, distribution, retail, and brand building.
Professionals who moved from service provider to suite owner, shop owner, educator, distributor, investor, or product founder.
Booking platforms, POS companies, retention tools, AI builders, automation experts, and tech leaders helping barber and beauty businesses run smarter.
Minority-owned brands, independent founders, and growing companies with real lessons about access, capital, visibility, distribution, and market share.
Social platforms, creators, content strategists, PR leaders, and brand marketers who understand how attention becomes opportunity.
Experts who can help attendees understand structure, funding, contracts, taxes, hiring, ownership, protection, and growth.
The standard
The strongest educators and main stage voices will bring more than credentials. They will bring clarity, specificity, lived experience, and a point of view attendees can use when they leave the room.
Session Formats
NBBS programming includes both education track opportunities and main stage moments — from live demonstrations and workshops to panels, fireside chats, brand education, and high-energy showcases.
High-energy demonstrations and showcase moments built for barbers and beauty professionals with presence, skill, and something worth gathering around.
Focused sessions tied to one of the four NBBS pillars: The Art, Business, Tech + Tools, or Visibility.
Practical education with a clear takeaway, framework, technique, or process attendees can apply after the event.
Craft, tools, systems, or product education shown in real time with context, instruction, and stage-ready delivery.
Curated conversations with founders, operators, educators, platforms, culture-shapers, and industry professionals with real perspective.
Education-led experiences from aligned brands, platforms, or companies with real value to bring the barber and beauty audience.
What Makes a Strong Submission
We are not looking for vague inspiration, recycled panels, or soft sales pitches. The strongest submissions will be specific, useful, and grounded in real experience.
Tell us whether your idea belongs on the education track, the main stage, or both — and which pillar it supports.
Bring a framework, process, demonstration, case study, strategy, or lesson people can actually apply.
Share the experience behind the idea — what you built, launched, scaled, taught, fixed, learned, or changed.
This room is built for barbers, beauty professionals, owners, renters, operators, educators, and builders who came to learn and be moved.
Speaker + Educator Application
NBBS is curating speakers, educators, founders, operators, platforms, and outside-the-box voices for the conversations this industry needs next.
Bring the conversation the industry is missing. We are looking for strong topics, clear attendee value, real proof, and sessions that help barber and beauty professionals build beyond the chair.
