On 14 August 2026, hair and beauty industry publisher Mocha brought salon owners, brands and industry leaders together for the Mocha Business Forum at Doltone House in Sydney. The day covered leadership, technology, marketing and AI for the salon industry. Rocco joined the networking.
What the Industry Said
The organiser's own Instagram, Mocha Hair Media, posted a reel calling Rocco "our newest little scene-stealer at the Mocha Business Forum".
Attendees shared their own posts too. Tigerlamb Salons wrote: "Safe to say we fell a little bit in love with him."
Why a Robot Worked at an Industry Forum
The audience was salon owners and beauty professionals, not a tech crowd, and that is exactly why a humanoid robot stood out.
- It made AI tangible. For an industry starting to explore AI tools, meeting a real humanoid robot made the topic concrete.
- It gave the sponsor wall a reason to visit. Guests posed with Rocco in front of the sponsor wall, so every photo carried the forum and sponsor branding.
- It created content for everyone. The organiser, attendees and salons all shared their own Rocco moments, extending the event's reach well beyond the room.
Planning a Robot for Your Industry Event
- Use the media wall. Placing Rocco near your sponsor wall turns every guest photo into sponsor exposure.
- Pick the busy moments. Arrivals, breaks and the post-session networking hour are when guests have time to interact.
- Invite your media team in. Short reels and interviews with Rocco perform well on social media for organisers and sponsors.
