    November 3, 2026 | 12PM - 1PM

    Join us on November 3rd for a special Elevate & Educate: A Year in Review with Mary Bemis, as we reflect on the trends, conversations, challenges, and opportunities that shaped the spa and wellness industry in 2026 — and what they mean for spas and brands as we look ahead to 2027.

    One of the industry’s most respected voices and a lifelong champion of spa culture, Mary brings a unique perspective on where we’ve been, what’s evolving, and what deserves our attention next.
