"Innovation through Imagination"
The sixth annual Global Spa & Wellness Summit will be held June 3-6, 2012 in Aspen, Colorado, U.S. The first gathering to be held in the U.S. since 2008, the 2012 Summit will be very unique. From its inception, the Global Spa & Wellness Summit has been modeled on the not-for-profit World Economic Forum (WEF), where leaders gather to solve problems and identify shared opportunities. Like the WEF, whose annual agenda is shaped by a panel of expert co-chairs, the Summit has three co-chairs for 2012:
Philippe Bourguignon, Vice Chairman, Revolution
Richard Dusseau, Co-Founder & CEO, SpaStrategy
Susie Ellis, President, SpaFinder, Inc.
The 2012 theme, “Innovation through Imagination,” was the result of a careful process of analysis and research that sought to identify the year’s most important topics for the spa and wellness industry but also for the world. As the Summit develops, speakers, panels, discussions and social events will be built around the twofold goal of understanding the current global landscape and exploring and fostering innovation, which many consider to be the most powerful force for change in the world.
Stay tuned for additional updates on the 2012 Summit as the agenda and program develops.
