The Day Spa Expo 2007
Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino
February 21-23, 2007
For Spa Owners, Operators, Presidents, Directors & Managers. Day Spa Expo Means Business, and a Real Opportunity To Realize Increased Profitability!
The 2006 Inaugural Day Spa Expo & Business Forum was the first industry event dedicated specifically to the Day Spas and designed to serve Owners and Operators and Directors. This unique spa event was designed and created with input from the visionaries and other spa professionals from across the country. The major consensus was that they all wanted a dedicated group of vendors so they don't have to sort through exhibits that don't apply to them. Ones that can specifically fill all their in-house goods, supply and inventory needs, their retail product needs, equipment & service needs, as well as their ongoing business & operational needs. They also indicated a very strong need for important information and knowledge on the major issues important to them, vital, real time, cutting edge issues and topics to help them achieve increased business and operational success.
Now is the time to sign up for exhibitor booths, because this show will sell out fast! DSA/IMSA members get a $200 discount on booth rate and special accommodation package offers at Mandalay Bay Hotel!
