Spa & Resort Expo at the LA Convention Center with Education Programs & Exhibits (February 23-25,08)
SPA AND MEDICAL AESTHETICS EVENT TO LAUNCH
NEW SHOW FEATURES IN LOS ANGELES
– Spa & Resort Expo and Conference and Medical Aesthetics Conference and Expo deliver new twists and show favorites to L.A. –
LOS ANGELES – Coming to the Los Angeles Convention Center, February 23-25, 2008, the Spa & Resort Expo and Conference and Medical Aesthetics Conference and Expo are set to deliver the latest and greatest in spa, resort and medical aesthetics. Recently named one of the 50-fastest growing tradeshows by Tradeshow Week, the Reed Exhibitions’ event debuts a recent redesign that brings spa and medical advances direct to the show floor. The redesign extends beyond the new name (the event was formerly known as the Spa & Resort and Medical Spa Expo and Conference) to the introduction of panel debate with special guests, exciting new keynotes and session topics, the new attendee “Green Room,” expanded educational tracks, additional networking lounges, and as always, new and exciting product launches from the most cutting-edge exhibitors.
“The launch of the Spa & Resort Expo and Conference and Medical Aesthetics Conference and Expo couldn’t have been timed more perfectly, serving as an answer to the growing needs of the spa and medical spa industries,” said event vice president Nancy Largay. “We are extremely enthusiastic about the upcoming show in L.A., and can’t wait to debut all the innovations on-site. With the new spa oasis transforming the traditional convention center environment, educational tracks like “Green Spa,” in-depth massage courses, the expanded new product showcase, and so much more, there really is something for everyone.”
