Delegates
The Global Spa & Wellness Summit welcomes delegates from all continents and countries. Formal invitations to the Summit are mailed to a targeted list of top level executives who are decision makers in spa, wellness, and related industries around the world. All invitees have applied or been nominated and then approved based on their positions, backgrounds, and leadership roles. Representatives from diverse sectors (including hospitality, investment, finance, real estate, medicine, consulting, manufacturing, product, technology, and other related industries) are invited to attend. From year to year, criteria for acceptance as a delegate to the Summit may change depending on location, size of venue, theme, etc.
Student Delegates
Each year, the Summit invites students from premier international hospitality schools with spa programs to join as student delegates. Some of these students participate in the Student Challenge competition, while others help with logistics, note-taking, etc. We are delighted to have had bright students, interested in the spa and wellness industries, attend from an array of international institutions.
