Blue skies, warm breezes, and breathtaking beaches greeted hundreds of people as they gathered for the opening of The International Congress of Esthetics and Spa’s 2013 tradeshow season in beautiful Miami, Fla., on April 7th and 8th.
Hosted by Denise Fuller, General Session was sponsored this year by Osmosis and PCA skin®, both prominent companies in this industry. The lectures and demonstrations on stage included the following topics:
Sunday:

However, General Session was not the only form of education for attendees. The two-day convention was packed with Manufacturers’ Workshops, Medical Esthetics Seminars, Salon/Spa Business Management Seminars, Cutting-Edge Salon/Spa Business Seminars, Medical Facilities Seminars, Medical Spa Business Seminars, Aesthetic and Wellness Center Track Seminars, Image Seminars, Aesthetics International Association Education Classes, National Aesthetic Spa Network Classes, and the Spa Business Lounge. No doubt, attendees left this event with more knowledge to take home and use in their practice.
Last, but definitely not least, the tradeshow floor this year held the strongest attendance to date since moving the show from downtown Miami. The atmosphere was energetic and inspiring as attendees visited with vendors, bought products, and watched demonstrations. Without a doubt, The International Congress of Esthetics and Spa – Miami tradeshow has started the 2013 season off great and solidified the appearance of a rebound in the aesthetics industry!
