During the Congress, team members from Rainbow Room International's 12 hair and beauty salons gathered for a day of education and hair shows, followed by an evening awards ceremony. 

The event was hosted by Rainbow Room International's owner and founder, Alan Stewart. Speakers included Alan Austin-Smith, who presented excerpts from The Fantastic Hairdresser, with the theme ‘Change'.

Lesley Jennison, Global Colour Ambassador for Schwarzkopf Professional, showcased on-trend looks and talked about bringing catwalk trends, including bespoke colour, into the salon. Lesley was joined on stage by Rainbow Room International Artistic Directors and Schwarzkopf Professional UK Ambassadors, Dylan and Suzie, along with Rainbow Room International Artistic Team members who showcased colour and upturned bobs as seen at Fashion Week. 

In the evening, the RRI Congress Awards were presented.
