Established in 2016 the UK PMU Conference was an initiative founded by renowned Permanent Makeup Artists, who wanted to create an event which welcomed global trainers to the UK, whilst providing a unique opportunity for the next generation of technicians to come together to share their experiences, expand their industry connections and have the opportunity to meet highly acclaimed Micropigmentation Artists on a one to one.

The UK PMU Conference is a 2-day multi-branded event with interactive participation. In addition to showcasing some of the latest technologies and techniques on the market, there will also be the opportunity for delegates to talk to experts in the field of communications and PR who will be on-site throughout the conference to provide complementary advice regarding brand development.

In 2022 the UK PMU Conference was handed over to Alice Kingdom, who works with her team of dedicated industry pros who collectively ensure that you have an experience that exceeds expectations.

We are an incorporation of everything you may find at an expo, conference, masterclass and awards! Alongside the chance to see some of your favourite artists from around the globe share their techniques, we are a fully immersive experience that will have live workshops where PMU artists (beginner, intermediate or advanced) can receive hands-on training & learning from master trainers. These workshops are free of charge but will need to be registered for them.

Not only is there a wealth of knowledge about the skill of your techniques, but we will also bring you business leaders that can strengthen your business strategy, well after the event has finished.

There are a number of ticket types available. The tickets are sold in tiers – the earlier you book, the more you save!

Gala Dinner Only – This grants you access to our gala dinner, awards and evening entertainment…a fabulous evening is had by all, year on year!

1 Day Pass – A brilliant way to have a taste of the event. These tickets grant you access to the day’s events only. They do not give you access to the aftershow networking party on Friday, nor the gala dinner and awards on Saturday.

2 Day Pass – Most Popular – This gives you access to everything!! The full 2 days, workshops, the canape networking party, and the gala dinner and awards. It is the most popular option.

2 Day Pass – VIP – Everything in the 2 day pass, but a little bit pimped! Preferential seating at the conference, additional items in your goodie bags, and additional chances to win giveaways and prizes.

Sure! When you register you are sent links with all the relevant information. You can download the full pack, and take a peek HERE

YES! Many artists in the industry work alone, and so many attend as individuals. We are really proud as an event of the friendships that have been built between artists that attend. Some artists choose to bring their partners to the gala dinner – this is one of the reasons we have this as a separate ticket option.

If you are attending alone, please let us know and we can “buddy” you up with someone. We can guarantee that you will not feel like a spare part!

The gala dinner and awards are held on the second and last night of the event. They celebrate the hard work and success of Permanent Makeup Artists and Cosmetic Tattoo Technicians who have excelled in producing consistently outstanding PMU treatments and setting high levels of service standards, whilst adhering to industry codes of conduct and safety in micro-pigmentation.

Set yourself apart from your competition and show clients why they should choose YOU! All of our finalists receive a bespoke finalist title and an official certificate to print, frame and display in the workspace. Now that’s something to be proud of and shout about!

The UK PMU Conference Awards are open to artists regardless of nationality, who currently live and work in the UK. You can read more about our awards how they work and how to apply here.

All levels are catered for. If you are a complete beginner, or a master in your own right there will be something to indulge you. We do suggest that those who get the most from the event are those that have already undertaken some form of basic training.

There will be a number of live, hands-on workshops to take part in. This may include things like having a go at Aerola on a breast mould, learning magnum shading techniques, doing a fine-line tattoo, or having an audit of your business structure.

There will be many workshops happening at the same time so that we can cover as many topics as possible. These will be registered for at the beginning of each day and will be subject to availability.

We would recommend it! Bringing your machine allows you to work alongside our masters as they show you techniques. Some of the workshops will require machines, which we will supply in limited numbers, so please bring your won to avoid disapointment. Latex, pigment and other items will be provided.

We will be in London, Hilton T5 Heathrow. This is an ideal location if you’re travelling to the UK, as it is right next to the airport! It is also a short commute from central London if you are travelling from elsewhere in the UK.

The Hilton is the most convenient place to stay, but you will find a range of hotels to suit all budgets very nearby.

We’ve structured the entire event so that you can make the most out of your experience over the span of 2 days and 2 nights. The exact schedule is subject to change. You can view the agenda here

Please arrive on time on both days to get the best from your experience and to enable you to register for the days workshops.

What better way to end our first day, than with a glass of bubbles and a few canapes, whilst getting to know your fellow attendees? We think this will be a marvellous addition to this year’s event! With a choice of hotels and restaurants nearby, after the event you are free to enjoy the rest of your evening and to prepare yourself for the following day!

Yes! All attendees will be given a certificate of attendance for the event!
