EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

 

In an unprecedented move, the American Massage Conference has officially expanded to 3 conferences in one by adding education and vendor space for massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture! The producers have created a trifecta of conferences all happening simultaneously on April 20th, 21st & 22nd at the Town and Country Resort in San Diego, California.

 

The 1st annual American Massage Conference held in Atlanta, GA, last year had already put the conference in a league of its own by offering CEUs by some of the top educators in the massage industry at a price point affordable to all therapists. The unique registration model offers students three days access to the tradeshow with up to 30 free 1 hour CE seminars. In addition, there are 3 hour and full-day workshops available at a la carte pricing from some of the best-known names in the industry, including Erik Dalton, Whitney Lowe, James Waslaski, Benny Vaughn, and David Kent, to name a few! This year, like last year’s convention, offers registrars unbelievable giveaways and prizes, such as a $4000 Infrared Sauna, $500 cash prizes, and $1000’s in services and merchandise.

 

One of the characteristics that define the American Massage Conference isis the organizers' efforts to inspire, facilitate, and give back to schools, educators, students, and non-profits. This is clearly demonstrated by this year’s schedule of events, including:

BIOTONE is proud to be a sponsor for this free event, which invites up to 30 massage schools to join massage therapy leaders to learn how to attract new students, market effectively, and build successful schools.
