Medical Spa Show 2024 will feature five educational tracks offering a variety of sessions and clinical presentations that are designed to help medical aesthetic and medical spa professionals improve their businesses, maintain legal compliance and offer exciting new treatments.

As has been the case in recent years, AmSpa will also offer the Virtual Education After Party (VEAP) in conjunction with the show. It includes recordings of most of the sessions from the live event and is a perfect solution for people who can’t make it to the MSS 2024 live event, as well as for attendees who wish to check out the sessions they missed at the live show.

In addition, the show will feature more than 150 vendors exhibiting their latest and greatest products and services on the show floor, as well as multiple tracks of sponsored education, where vendors go into detail about what they offer. Medical spas and practices that are seeking new services or want to improve their logistics will find this a great opportunity to improve their businesses.

Finally, Sunday has been specially programmed to offer four in-depth, extra informative workshops, covering hiring and compensation, practice management, how to start and scale your medical spa, and how to build a profitable medical spa through financial understanding and strategy. Of course, attendees will also be able to take part in the Academy for Injection Anatomy’s acclaimed Live Cadavar Dissection Course on Sunday, for an additional fee.
