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:
Thursday, February 23rd – AMC Massage School Rally at the Earthlite facility in Vista, CA. 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. Speakers include Jim Chenevey, CEO Earthlite, Cindy Williams for AMBP, Lynda Solien-Wolfe, C.G. Funk from Massage Envy, Angie Patrick from Massage Warehouse, Ahmos Netanel from California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC), and Monica Pasinato-Forchielli from One Concept. Space is limited.
