The Spa Life Conventions are a celebration of excellence and innovation in the spa and wellness industry, with a unique focus on education and self-development.

We focus on what spa professionals like you need to create exceptional wellness experiences. That way, we can all play our part in setting a new standard of excellence for customers.

Over the course of two days we empower you to raise the bar in wellness by helping you grow your product offering, your networks and your management skills and knowledge through a combination of face-to-face meetings, insightful seminars and extensive networking opportunities - and in the case of Spa Life Ireland, a unique, immersive wellness experience.

Flexible ticket options also allow you to bring your support teams to enjoy the education programme on Day 2 of the Convention.

Registration stations will usually open from 08:00am each day, with formal activities beginning around 09:30am.

As a decision-maker for your business you will enjoy a personal schedule of pre-arranged meetings with suppliers and service provider that you will have selected in advance.

This forum is an efficient use of time and a great way for senior managers to do business.

Meetings only last for 15 – 20 minutes each but if you require more information from individual suppliers, you can visit their display stand in the EXPO Arena or agree on a follow up meeting later at the Convention, or even make an appointment to meet at your business post-event.

To take part in the 1-2-1 Networking sessions, you will need to select one of the ‘Buyer’ packages.

The Spa Life Convention is designed exclusively for senior spa & wellness professionals. This may include business owners, spa and salon managers, consultants, spa supervisors and aspiring management personnel who are looking to improve their knowledge, increase their contacts and boost their career.

Wellness never stands still, and alongside celebrating innovation and excellence in the sector, our events will help you grow your product offering, your networks and your knowledge so you are inspired to raise the bar in wellness in your own business.

Spa Life is a relaxed, but professional business-focussed forum where the leading figures from the spa and wellness community gather for extensive networking and business development opportunities.

Spa Life Conventions included an EXPO Arena but they are NOT A TRADE SHOW.

Spa Life is the only event in the spa calendar which focuses on developing the people working within the wellness industry. We do this through a combination of formal and informal networking sessions and providing insights and education to help you grow and develop, so you're ready to raise the bar in your day-to-day role.

An example of activities and itinerary for each day might include:

Day 1

  • EXPO arena
  • 1-2-1 speed-networking meetings
  • Product demonstrations
  • Showcases of the latest trends and innovations
  • Operator summit
  • Supplier summit
  • Gala Dinner

Day 2

  • EXPO arena
  • Networking
  • Keynote addresses, educational seminars and workshops to develop your knowledge, skills, and product offering
  • Industry insight from a host of expert speakers focusing on the themes of:
    o Leadership
    o Wellness
  • Hot Seat Symposiums: facilitated sessions with expert panels addressing common challenges faced by the industry and posed by the audience.

A number of Sponsorship Packages are available for every Spa Life Convention.

Each event provides a unique Sponsors' Brochure which is downloadable form the relevant event page and describes all the opportunities available for suppliers and service providers.

For more information, simply visit the Sponsors page of the relevant event to download the Sponsorship Brochure or, if you prefer, you may contact the Organisers directly: Tel: +44 (0)1268 745892 || Email: team@spa-life.international

 

There is no obligation to purchase anything, either on the day or at any time; you must however, attend all scheduled meetings to give our sponsors the opportunity to discuss your business's needs.

As an official buyer at the Spa Life Convention, you will be provided with a personal schedule of face-to-face meetings with a range of product brands/ service providers which you will pre-select in advance.

A full list of speakers and topics for each Convention is listed on the relevant event web site and also in the Spa Life mobile app which is available from Google Play or ther App Store.

All Conference programmes include at least one inspirational keynote address and a series of breakout sessions.

Specific information on each speaker and their topics, is included on the Conference pages for each country/ event.

It is not necessary to book for individual conference sessions; so you can build your own agenda by opting to attend any, or all of the conference sessions based on your individual area(s) of interest.

Of course, if you feel that all sessions may of interest for your spa business, you can bring a colleague and split between sessions to optimise the benefits.

All tickets provide access to all activities of the Convention on the day of entry so if visiting just for the Conference on Day 2 you will have access to the EXPO Arena.

However, if you are seriously looking to review the supply market and discover new brands/ services, we highly recommend you consider one of the Buyer Packages which provide significantly increased value-for-money.

As a Conference-Only ticket holder, you will not have access to the speed-networking forum or the Wellness Experiences (Ireland only) on Day 1.

The Spa Life Convention takes place on a normal working day so business attire is the order of the day.

For the Gala Dinner we recommend Cocktail attire. Black tie (or any tie) is NOT necessary but do we ask gentlemen to wear a jacket; Ladies always know best!

 

On arrival at the Convention venue you should make your way to the dedicated Conference entrance which has a separate car park.

On entry to the Conference centre, please report to the Spa Life Registration Desk to collect your name badge which must be worn at all times.
