With a brand new location, fresh educational concepts and a keynote speaker known for kicking businesses into gear on the agenda, it’s time to register for the world’s largest indoor tanning trade show and conference!

As always, Smart Tan Nashville (October 3-5 2014) is the only industry event where you can see every major equipment, lotion and sunless brand. Along with the opportunity to see every major industry provider, every salon in attendance will walk away with more than $800 in samples, and be entered to win sunbeds, lotion packages and much more in the industry’s biggest prize giveaway, the Wheel of Smart Tan. It would be crazy to go anywhere else and miss out on everything that’s happening in Nashville!

Headlining the educational conference will be keynote speaker Tabatha Coffey, host of Bravo’s Tabatha Takes Over. Tabatha has devoted her professional life to achieving excellence, as a successful businesswoman, company owner and hair designer and educator. Drawing on her years of hands-on experience, she now travels the country as she helps struggling business owners turn around their lives and businesses, for the fifth season of Bravo’s, Tabatha Takes Over. With her signature edgy style, tough love approach and exceptional skills as an artist and as a businessperson, Tabatha is without question the golden girl of small businesses. She proves that her professional instincts transcend the realm of beauty and can transform owners and staffs across all kinds of businesses.

In her Nashville presentation, “It’s Not About the Tan,” Coffey will explore the concept that a great tan is just one reason people visit your salon; customers really want the overall experience. Her in-your-face honesty, contagious energy and undeniable business sense is sure to capture your attention and get you rethinking they way you view your salon and your customers.

Friday kicks off with an all-day pre-conference event featuring retail expert and best-selling author Bob Negen. The Maximum Bang Retailing event is packed with retail and marketing advice that will help you bring in new customers and get them spending more money. Negen will spend the day sharing a comprehensive plan that has been proven to get maximum results.

This year’s educational conference includes brand new sessions on thriving as an independent salon, helping owners develop and maximize the benefit of their professional network, and sharpening the skills and professionalism of employees so you can raise the bar for your business from the bottom up.
