Since its creation in 2007, the European Spa Summit is an indispensable annual get-together for Spa operators. This year, the summit, which will be held from 10th to 12th September in Paris on the fringes of the  SPAMEETING, has been conceived in collaboration with the association of Spa professionals, SPA-A, the official partner of this 2012 edition.
Organized around six conferences conducted by industry experts, it especially addresses targeted audience profiles: hoteliers and investors in the sector, Spa managers, care brands and equipment suppliers, intermediate professionals, consultants and architects, and Medispas.

Perfectly tuned in to the current issues of the Spa world, SPA-A, under the direction of Aldina Duarte Ramos, has planned a programme conducted by experts chosen from all over the world.  An unequalled source of information and sharing on topics that are fascinating:

The child in the Spa
Spa offers for children are booming and, as a result, raising a number of questions.  SPA-A has organized a working group with the help of Spa managers, psychologists and physicians to discuss best practices with regard to welcoming children in Spas and the kind of treatments designed for them.
This conference will be conducted by Valerie Nahmias, journalist, who will present the speakers: Joëlle Guillemot, pediatric nurse and psychologist, founder-president of the OMNISENS Spa brand, Nathalie Bouchon Poiroux, clinical psychologist, trainer, and head of Quality and Training for the “Cinq Mondes” Spas, and also Cynthia Zucker and Sévérine Merit from Club Med.
