SPATEC Europe heads to Italy for networking rooted in wellness
This year’s SPATEC Europe will be held at the Grand Hotel Dino in Baveno, Italy, offering high-level networking in a location rich in natural wellness.
The hotel’s positioning on scenic Lago Maggiore gives delegates the opportunity to enjoy the region’s lakes, mountains and natural parks – fitting for an event crafted specifically for spa, wellness, and beauty professionals in the UK and Europe.
The 13th edition of SPATEC Europe will be held from June 19-22 2019, with over 125 influential decision-makers due to attend., and in such a beautifully scenic yet results-driven environment, SPATEC Europe has built an enduring reputation for helping spa and wellness-orientated businesses of all sizes to thrive.
SPATEC Europe is the industry’s original appointment-based networking forum that pays homage to the importance of face-to-face connections. Regular participants know what to expect and new attendees are soon impressed by the simple, yet effective format.
Each year, event director Stephen Pace-Bonello, works diligently to remain faithful to the basic concept while fine-tuning key components to keep the event fresh and exciting; from out-of-the-box team-building activities to sourcing top speakers who share important trends, insights and forecasts.
Event director Stephen Pace-Bonello said: “This year’s edition of SPATEC Europe will include operators from right across Europe to complement the strong presence of UK-based buyers, to meet and network with international manufacturers and service providers showcasing their latest products and services.
“Delegates can expect three days of hard work and good fun, connecting with old friends and making new acquaintances, on the shore of the scenic Lago Maggiore.”
Buyers at SPATEC pre-qualified and are comprised of operators of spa, wellness and beauty facilities in the UK and across continental Europe and beyond. Buyers come to the event each year in search of the latest products and solutions and leave having fulfilled their sourcing needs.
Suppliers represent a range of categories from skincare, hair, nail and make-up products, to furniture, equipment, towels and robes and software systems.
When asked about her experience as a first-time buyer at SPATEC Europe, Sue Goddard, group leisure manager of Center Parcs said, “As a newcomer to the spa industry this was an invaluable experience for me as I met more key contacts in three days than I will have the time to meet with over the next 12 months.”
Brian Hunter, operations director of Lifehouse Spa & Hotel in Essex, UK, said of the event: “It is such a great cross-section of experts within the spa industry all in one place, to meet and have fun and have intensive discussion sessions, and it really works.”
