Spa & Resort and Medical Spa Conferences Announce Makeover

12/20/2007 - America’s most successful spa, resort and medical spa conference and expo events are getting a makeover. Formerly the Spa & Resort and Medical Spa Expo and Conference, the new Spa & Resort Expo and Conference and the Medical Aesthetics Conference and Expo are set to reveal their new look and feel at the Los Angeles Convention Center, February 23-25, 2008.

The show’s new management team, including event senior vice president Greg Topalian, who launched the Spa & Resort Expo and Conference in 2002, vice president Nancy Largay and sales director Ed Gallo, is poised to continue the show’s growth and success. The team is gearing up for the 2008 L.A. show and expects the new name, redesigned logo, enhanced conference content, and show floor expansion to be a success.

‘The strategic renaming of the Spa & Resort and Medical Spa Expo and Conference is due in part to increasing demand in both the spa and medical spa segments for more – more innovation, more education, and of course, more space to accommodate the expansion in the industry,’ said Mr. Topalian.

The renaming of the show is the first change implemented by the new management team. The innovations slated to debut at the 2008 L.A. show represent the revitalized energy of the event, the enthusiasm of the new team and the vitality of the industry. Attendees and exhibitors can expect to see a rejuvenated experience – updated design will enhance the spa experience for the Spa & Resort Expo and Conference, and educational courses and conference sessions will offer information on the latest advancements at the Medical Aesthetics Conference and Expo.
