Introducing the WSW Convention and how it can benefit your business
After the success of the revamped format for last year's convention, at the World Spa & Wellness Convention GCC 2020 we will once again give delegates the opportunity to choose the key information they need to grow their spa businesses in the coming months. Registrations are now open, save 25% if you book before 5th of January 2020.
There are two core streams to the convention:
Stream 1: Managing a successful spa
Stream 2: Strategies to take your business to the next level
Both will be packed with expert panels, and targeted advice for spa operators to implement into their businesses. There will also be keynote speakers who will focus on topics such as trends set to disrupt the industry and creating memorable experiences for customers.
Situation rooms
In addition to the two key streams, the 2020 convention will also feature “situation rooms” on two key topics – ramping up a successful preopening, and managing the first 100 days of a turnaround. Delegates can choose to join one of two morning sessions, for day/independent spas, hotels/resort spas, and witness how our roundtables of experts deal with these two challenges. View the full programme and speaker-line up so far.
We had the opportunity to sit down with Jean-Guy de Gabriac, founder and CEO of TIP TOUCH, an advisor & educator focused on enhancing the perceived value for guests and staff in Spas, Wellness centers, and Hotels. Jean-Guy who will be a chair on the "Building Wellness Experiences at your Spa" session says,
"The FUN FACTOR is a serious matter. Interesting wellness activities can grow footfall and boost customer retention". He also notes that the Situation Rooms are an opportunity for delegates to "meet, learn, network & contribute to conversations (about 60 minutes) with great insights, best practices and key numbers." about:
MONDAY 17th – FIRST 100 DAYS OF A TURNAROUND
DAY/INDEPENDENT Spa
HOTEL/RESORT Spa
TUESDAY 18th – SUCESSFULLY PREPARE A PRE-OPENING
DAY/INDEPENDENT Spa
HOTEL/RESORT Spa
Mornings will be "open conversation" formats, going through the main points (no slides) with delegates welcome to attend, listen, take notes, ask questions and contribute if they wish.
The afternoon sessions are the real presentations in a conference room, with slides projected.
Each group will have about 30 minutes to address the most striking points.
All delegates will stay in the same room to listen to the 3 presentations: Day Spa, City/Hotel Spa and Resort Spa.
Panelists are top Spa operationals (CEOs, GM or Group Spa Directors) who have accepted to share insights based on their extensive experience, especially financial expertise. These golden nuggets cannot be found in classes, nor books, only learnt from experiences, sometimes mistakes.
Panelists will also share some numbers/KPIs BEFORE they launched (or implemented a turn-around) and AFTER, so that delegates learn actions and can measure impacts."
