Full conference and trade show details were posted this morning on the official convention web site, www.SmartTanDowntown.com, which is also accessible from the SmartTan.com web site. Smart Tan on Monday announced that North America\u2019s leading consumer journalist, 19-time Emmy-winner John Stossel (ABC\u2019s 20\/20 and Fox News), will be the convention\u2019s keynote speaker for a program designed to \u201cGive UV a Break!\u201d That program is only part of business development conference featuring case studies and interventions of existing tanning businesses, looking at business models that will lead the industry\u2019s leading salons into the future. Smart Tan today unveiled details for the rest of the convention\u2014including a revolutionary multi-part program breaking down case studies of successful tanning businesses with an expert team. Smart Tan Consultants Jerry Marfut, Rich Kizer and Georganne Bender will join Smart Tan\u2019s Matt Russell and Joseph Levy in reviewing case studies, makeovers and interventions that began this winter. A total of eight workshop sessions will explore details and analysis from these case studies. \u201cBusiness models for what Smart Tan calls \u2018The Fifth Generation\u2019 of professional indoor tanning businesses are changing\u2014there\u2019s no doubt that the businesses that are succeeding right now and that will succeed in the next few years are doing things differently than those who succeeded 10 and even five years ago,\u201d said Smart Tan Vice President Joseph Levy, who serves as conference chairman. \u201cIt\u2019s Smart Tan\u2019s mission to help the industry\u2019s best players get better\u2014something that\u2019s better for the industry as a whole and for each business individually. In that respect, I\u2019m as excited about what we\u2019re doing this year as I\u2019ve ever been.\u201d The business conference compliments a trade show featuring every major tanning supplier\u2014the only event in the industry this year that will have everyone under one roof. A totally new program this year will be a four-hour pre-convention scientific symposium on Friday afternoon featuring UV and Vitamin D researchers. The program, titled \u201cUV, Vitamin D and the Whole Truth: The Scientific Symposium\u201d will include several world-leading scientists for the first-ever scientific symposium held as a pre-conference symposium at a Smart Tan convention. UV and Vitamin D research have created mixed messages in the news media in recent years\u2014pitting dermatology groups against vitamin D scientists in an oddly tangled mixture of science and politics. A distinguished panel of UV and Vitamin D experts presents research that makes the case for a new, balanced message more compelling than ever. \u201cThis is a program that serious owners will want to attend\u2014it will be an excellent chance for you to hear first-hand what\u2019s really going on with the science of UV and Vitamin D from the researchers themselves,\u201d Levy said. Look for full details this spring on this symposium, which will be adjunct to the rest of the convention and will involve a separate fee. The convention also features Smart Tan certification programs, Red Light Therapy sessions and a closing session featuring $100,000 in product giveaways. Registration is open online at www.SmartTanDowntown.com or by calling a Smart Tan team member at 800-652-3269 or 866-795-3755 in Canada.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-04-01-Registration-copy.jpg"}
