The Green Spa Network will hold its next Congress from 11-14 March, 2018, at the Carmel Valley Ranch in California. This marks a shift in timing for the Congress, which has historically been held in the autumn.

With the theme of “Inspire Action and Create Community through Storytelling,” the 10th Anniversary Congress will aim to create an environment for professional and personal exploration through quality education, collaborative sessions, and networking.

Facilitated at resorts that prioritise and incorporate the natural environment, the Congress presents an opportunity for spas to discover sustainable solutions for their business.

Convening at Carmel Valley Ranch, located in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains, the Congress will also offer attendees adventures and excursions. As a camp-inspired resort, Carmel Valley Ranch encourages a playful connection to nature and each other.

“You will be inspired to live your best life, recapture your youthful joy, and align your vision to surpass everyone’s expectations, especially your own,” said Tracie Wertz, GSN board member and Congress chair.

“The 10th Anniversary Congress will be more magical than we have come to expect, and I would tell anyone interested in elevating their personal and professional story to join us in Carmel Valley," she continued. "You will leave encouraged to make your lives healthier and surroundings more sustainable. Explore the limitless possibilities and vibrate at a higher level in collaboration with spa industry and global sustainability leaders.”

The three-day GSN Congress event is designed to be an interactive experience providing attendees with the inspiration and supportive community necessary for taking action to support sustainable businesses, people, and planet. Registration and early-bird prices will open July 15, 2017.
