A
‘must attend’ event that focuses on ‘People, Planet and Health’, SpaFest returns in 2021 to provide time and space for spa and wellness professionals to reconnect, rebuild and re-energise their personal and professional wellbeing after a challenging year. Set to be held at the award-winning five-star eco-resort, Gwel an Mor, in Cornwall from October 12-14, this unique industry gathering will once again be refreshingly free from the formalities of business attire, name badges and organised selling. Featuring empowering sessions, thought-provoking talks and multiple opportunities to connect, this year’s SpaFest will offer an exceptional balance of education, inspiration and social wellbeing activities in a friendly and supportive space. An empowering agenda The event will begin with performance coach Jamie Edwards, founder of Trained Brain, who will offer a day of empowerment and leadership for spa industry professionals in attendance. Susan Harmsworth, MBE, will then discuss ‘The real trends and challenges
that face the spa and wellness industry’. Other speakers confirmed so far include: Kay Pennington, group spa manager of Center Parcs Aqua Sana; Dr Neil Carpenter, founder of NMC2; and Soul Luxury founder Claudia Roth. More leading respected thought leaders are set to be confirmed in due course.
“The vision for SpaFest is – and has always been – about creating meaningful conversations within the spa and wellbeing sector for both suppliers and operators, with no pressure to buy or sell, just to simply connect and be inspired.” Amanda Winwood, Founder, SpaFest and Made for Life Organics
