Medical Spa Show is an event that has been built to provide the highest level of industry business and clinical education taught by the best in the industry, and every year, our faculty list gets bigger and better,” says AmSpa President and CSO, Cathy Christensen. “This year, we have the most exciting group of legends, leaders and innovators teaching MSS25 attendees that we have ever had. I can’t wait to welcome new faces and MSS veterans to teach the most important courses in medical aesthetics!”

Some of the industry luminaries who will be appearing at Medical Spa Show 2025 include:

  • Kyle Scheele (Keynote Speaker): Kyle Scheele has been called "the patron saint of crazy ideas." Whether he's having a Viking funeral for the regrets of 21,000 people, hosting the world's first fake marathon or gaining a million TikTok followers in just 25 hours, Scheele is always on the lookout for crazy ideas that produce wildly outsized outcomes. Over the last decade, his projects have been featured by outlets such as Fast Company, WIRED, The Washington Post, Yahoo!, BuzzFeed, UpWorthy, Goalcast and more. His videos have been viewed more than 250 million times, and he has spoken to hundreds of thousands of audience members across the United States. More than anything, Scheele hopes his story can inspire others to chase their own crazy ideas and become the people they were meant to be.
