It would cost tens of thousands of dollars in travel expenses to bring these top Industry Leaders from around the world to one physical location.
Their busy schedules don’t permit them to share the same stage and these top industry leaders often travel over 200 days a year. Sometimes you have to book these presenters years in advance.
Through the leverage and power of the internet we bring together the world’s top educators in the massage and bodywork industry directly to you, right in the comfort of your own living room.
Whether you listen by phone or right through your computer via the webcast, we guarantee the learning experience will be far more intimate than any “distance learning” event you’ve ever participated in before.
Imagine … No Airfare – No Hotel Expenses – No Meal Costs! No Carbon Footprint - The Ultimate 'Green' Event!
Plane tickets, hotel rooms, and meals on the road add up quickly. You already know this, right? When you attend a real-world physical seminar, you can spend a thousand dollars or more … just getting there... and that doesn’t even count the price of admission!
This Year: Air travel has become more of a nuisance than ever before. You have to arrive more than 60 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Most airlines now charge you for checked bags and then you have to practically disrobe to get through security. Travelling is not only frustrating it cuts deeply into your work and family time.
Wouldn’t you agree?
The key advantage of the World Massage Conference is that it allows you to avoid ALL of those hassles. You don’t pay for any plane tickets. You don’t pay for any hotel rooms. And you won’t even need extra cash for meals and entertainment!
Massage techniques and treatments are the focus of this year’s conferences.
In response to your feedback, the focus of this year’s conference is clearly centered on massage techniques, modalities, treatment approaches and rehab.
There is not enouph room on this page to list all the presenters in detail, so go to this page to get an overview of their presentations. Take a look and we’ll meet you back here. (coming real soon!)
Now that you’ve taken a look, what do you think?
Is that amazing or what?
It’s over 50 hours of cutting edge continuing education.
In addition to keynote presentations, we’ll be rebroadcasting highlights from the 2009 and 2010 conferences and showcasing associations, new products, and various practitioners and leaders in short video broadcasts throughout the three days.
Getting access to just one of these speakers is worth many times the price of tuition
We’ve intentionally set the price of tuition low enough so that anyone can afford to benefit from the wealth of knowledge that will be shared at this historic event.
Deciding what level of participation is simple. There is a one-time fee of $197 for everything.
- See and hear 24 presentations from the speakers, each one an internationally recognized industry expert

Participants in the past lamented the fact that the conference was ending and they’d have to leave their virtual community of friends they made while at the conference. Now you’ll get to connect with your friends more frequently and continue the communication between events through our expanding social networking area within Facebook, the Virtual Lounge, as we like to call it.
How can we offer this so inexpensively?
It would normally cost you thousands of dollars to be able to see this lineup of presenters. How can we “give away” tickets to the World Massage Conference for so little?
It’s simple. None of our speakers have to travel, they don’t have to carve out a full weekend from their schedules, and we have none of the costs of providing transportation and accommodation for presenters, renting huge convention centers, setting up sound systems, or staff for set-up and take down, etc.
Because of the way we are able to leverage our resources so efficiently, we are able to pass all our savings directly on to you and give you private access to many of the massage industry’s top thought leaders, educators, trainers and visionaries.
We’re committed to giving you an unforgettable “distance learning” experience at the lowest cash outlay possible.
