Downtown Nashville — the first time the event has appeared in this night-life-filled venue — is a perfect and affordable destination for an event that will be like none other in the history of tanning.

“Indoor tanning is on the cusp of its next boom, and the smartest tanning business owners will be positioned to be a part of it,” Smart Tan Chairman Matt Russell said. “Making sure you’re one of them is what Smart Tan’s 14th Annual Convention and Trade Show — Smart Tan Downtown — is all about.”

Consider: Tanning boomed in the mid-1980s — growing from fad to acceptance as one of North America’s fastest growing industries. And it boomed again in the late 1990s — bolstered by a new generation of owners and the advent of professional salon products and equipment. And it stands to boom again in 2010 and beyond — driven by the fourth generation of salon ownership, truly innovative and professional salon practices and, most importantly, a huge science-driven correction in the public perception of regular UV exposure.
