12th TRI International Conference on Applied Hair Science
A world-leading biennial conference for hair science.
The 12th TRI International Conference on Applied Hair Science will take place on Tuesday 2nd to Thursday 4th June 2025, at the Oyster Point Hotel, Red Bank, New Jersey.
The 12th TRI International Conference on Applied Hair Science is a world-leading biennial conference for hair science. The conference features scientific advances made in hair biology, hair structure and properties, hair damage and new methods and technologies.
The conference is a great networking event for hair scientists in the US and beyond, fostering collaborations between many research groups and companies. Many great projects have started over a conversation at the coffee break at our event!
Sponsorships
The conference cannot take place without the generous sponsorship received from our member companies. We are very grateful to the kind donations made in previous years that have keep the event afloat, financially speaking.
Sponsorship help keep down ticket-prices, which, together with online access that TRI provides, makes sure that the event is as inclusive and accessible as possible. We aim to give access to high quality science and education to as many people as is possible. Please contact us at TRI if you would like to support our event.
Submitting Your Work
We are open already for abstract submissions. The deadline for submissions is Friday February 27th, 2026. Abstract submissions for podium and poster presentations should be submitted to the conference Scientific Program Committee at events@triprinceton.org
Abstracts should describe original scientific work that has not been previously published and does not include animal testing. Original research undertaken for commercial purposes is welcome, as long as it has sufficient scientific merit. Abstracts, presentations and posters should use chemical names as far as possible and avoid direct promotion of any products or services.
