Tan Code 2025

And that’s how a tradition began…

Organizer

Hi, I’m Gabija, and “Tan Code” was born from a very simple, yet powerful idea - to bring spray tan artists together in one place. I wanted to create more than just an event. I wanted to build a space where women who are not afraid to step outside their comfort zone could come together – women who are eager to grow, learn, improve, and confidently explore the world of spray tanning alongside like-minded professionals.

Creating a community was especially important to me - one where every artist feels seen, understood, and inspired. The first event came with excitement, doubts, and even a bit of fear. It was a completely new concept in Lithuania, which raised many questions- would this idea be understood? Would it be needed? Would anyone want to be part of it?

But reality exceeded all expectations. The incredible women who gathered in one place created a truly special atmosphere - full of support, openness, and genuine connection. Seeing them connect, share their experiences and insights, openly talk about challenges, and celebrate achievements together was priceless. I truly believe it touched not only me, but every single participant.

After receiving so much positive feedback and questions about the next event, the decision became clear - “Tan Code” had to continue. And so, the second chapter was born - stronger and even more inspiring.

If you feel that you want more - more knowledge, more inspiration, more connection - I invite you to become not just a part of this event, but a member of a growing and supportive community. I’ll be truly happy to see you there!

this year, Izabela will be sharing her expertise on precisely this topic at the conference. During her presentation, she will reveal the science behind spray tanning, advanced techniques, and professional insights that are rarely discussed, yet are essential for achieving flawless results.

Many of you already know Izabela – she was one of last year’s conference speakers. After receiving an overwhelming amount of positive feedback and seeing the huge interest in her presentation, we decided to invite her back again this year.

Izabela Jachowska is an award-winning spray tanning specialist and educator, the founder of @spray_tan_leicester and @thetanningacademyuk, and the co-founder of the GLOW FEST community for spray tanning professionals.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Marketing, Izabela strongly believes that technical skills alone are not enough to build a successful career. That is why marketing is an important part of every training programme she delivers, helping professionals not only develop their technical expertise but also build profitable and sustainable businesses.

In 2026, Izabela introduced an innovative Hydrating Pre-Tan Mist, designed to enhance the client experience, help spray tanning professionals achieve even better treatment results, and strengthen their position as premium service providers in the market.

We have no doubt that this year’s presentation will once again be packed with valuable knowledge, practical tips, and inspiration for every spray tanning professional.
