Questex’s International Esthetics, Cosmetics & Spa Conference (IECSC) Florida, the most influential gathering of spa and wellness professionals in the Southeast, has unveiled its conference program, which offers over 80 sessions for spa and wellness attendees to learn. IECSC Florida will be held at the Palm Beach Convention Center, October 15-16, 2023. Register here.
“With so many courses to choose from, attendees will leave IECSC Florida with new ideas, new techniques and new solutions,” said Elizabeth Fantetti Trevorrow, event and partnership director, Spa & Beauty. “Even if you are an industry veteran, you know how essential it is to keep up to date with the latest technology and trends and there’s no better way to do that than in-person training from industry leaders, where you can have a real dialogue and glean tangible takeaways.”
IECSC Florida offers a strong education program, curated by American Spa to include relevant business-building information, presented by the industry’s most prominent speakers, including valuable content such as medical spa, makeup and beauty enhancements, business management, esthetics, nails, health & wellness, client & retail growth, social media & marketing.

Since specializing is one way for spa professionals to stay at the top of their game, and to be as profitable as possible, attendees can also participate in nearly 50 complimentary exhibitor presentations through the Product Focused Education (PFE) program. Each class offers a deep dive into a specific product or service, giving attendees expert brand knowledge that they can leverage in their business. These classes are all included with the 2-Day Exhibit Hall pass and do not require an additional fee. View the complete schedule here.
