How to add profit to your business while working fewer salon hours
Business Strategy Roundtables
Think that it's possible to earn more whilst working less? Well it is... but only when you have the correct set up and when you're working on the right things. Join Salonology co-founder Ryan Power - who has personally helped thousands of salon owners over the last decade to build a business which lights them up - for this lively round table discussion which will focus on not only helping you to take a step back from the salon floor but also how you can make more money whilst doing so. The old salon model is broken; it's time to step into the new model as a CEO and not just the operator. Please note that you need valid entrance tickets to attend this session.

How Clients Will Find (and Choose) Your Salon in 2026
Business Strategy Roundtables
This round table looks at how clients find and choose their salons in 2026. We’ll explore how search is evolving, what AI means for visibility, and why being clear about what you do, and who you do it for, matters more than ever. We’ll talk through the role of your website, Google profile and socials, and how they work together to help the right clients find you. We’ll also look beyond the screen. From local marketing and community presence to the importance of human connection and trust, this session is about building visibility that's achievable - not exhausting.
