Face & Body 2009: Invest in Your Career

Looking for new ways to grow your business? Want to make an investment in your career? The 2009 Face & Body’s Advanced Education Conference Program is the perfect solution!

Two days of product-neutral education that spans four different industry-driven tracks—Business-building, Esthetic Science, Trends and Wellness/Sustainability—are led by highly regarded industry presenters that await you at this year’s conference.

Still going strong in its 17th year, the Face & Body® Spa & Healthy Aging Conference and Expo® will take place July 11–13 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in San Jose,California. This move to San Jose offers numerous benefits for Face & Body attendees, including more affordable hotel nights, a convenient location—just four miles from the San Jose International Airport—diverse restaurant choices within walking distance, and much more. It’s time to find your way to San Jose! You can’t afford to miss out on this well-established event.

Also take advantage of the exclusive networking opportunities that Face & Body is offering you this year, à la carte! Choose from a variety of special offerings, all brand-new. Tour local spas, take part in a networking lunch, and tantalize your taste buds with a tour and tastings at nearby wineries. Join us for one event or come to all three in between the sessions of your first day of Advanced Education—it’s up to you!
