ACE Group 2020 Conference
Birmingham Repertory Theatre
Wednesday 11th March 2020
A report from the Aesthetics Complications Expert Group
The ACE Group was delighted at the attendance and feedback from their inaugural 2020 national conference at Birmingham Repertory theatre with nearly 300 delegates in attendance. Situated in the heart of Birmingham’s busy theatre and nightlife district and famous Jewellery Quarter, the venue proved to be very popular due to its location, audiovisual capabilities, helpful staff and catering facilities.
Complications are daunting no matter how experienced the practitioner and the 2020 conference mainly focused on how to avoid complications, their recognition and their management.
The importance of face-to-face diagnosis, early intervention and the use of an evidence-based approach were highlighted throughout the Aesthetic Complications Expert Group conference on March 11.
Founder and Chair of the ACE Group, Dr Martyn King, opened the day, welcoming the delegates to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre for its inaugural conference. He explained that the ACE Group is the UK’s largest non-surgical aesthetic organisation with over 4,000 members and provides evidence-based peer reviewed guidelines to assist aesthetic practitioners in dealing with a range of complications, as well as a social media forum and emergency helpline. Delegates received an ACE Group branded delegate bag, which contained the ACE Group’s hardback Management of Complications book.

Feedback from the Chairperson
Dr King said he was extremely proud following the event, and commented, “The feedback has been amazing, not only with the presentations and educational content, but also the conference organisation, venue, catering and the delegate packs which included all of our guidelines in a hardback book. Some delegates have even commented that it is the best conference they have ever attended.”
Dr King added, “I would like to personally thank all board members who have worked tirelessly, giving up their own time, not only to make the conference a huge success, but also the work behind the scenes in producing and updating guidelines and helping practitioners in need.”
