Indoor tanning businesses are finally taking a stand against their critics, and we’ll discuss the full details in a dedicated industry session, only at Smart Tan Nashville, Nov. 13-15.<\/p>\n

Last month a group of Nebraska salons\u00a0filed a lawsuit\u00a0against a prominent anti-tanning organization based in Nebraska. Backed by the ASA and its members, this lawsuit represents a \u201cline drawn in the sand\u201d as we seek to hold groups and individuals accountable for misstatements about the tanning industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unfortunate that Nebraska tanning salon owners must seek relief in the legal system to preserve the right to operate our businesses free from misinformation and attacks,\u201d said Curt Bowen, president\u00a0of a\u00a0Nebraska salon franchise group president, in a press release. \u201cBut in this case, our very livelihoods are on the line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Salons around the country have rallied around the effort, making contributions to the ASA Legal Fund<\/a> to support the fight.\u00a0They know the impact\u00a0will extend well beyond Nebraska,\u00a0but where do we\u00a0all\u00a0go from here? At Smart Tan\u00a0Nashville we will discuss the litigation as well as other steps the ASA is taking to refute misstatements and get the message about UV back on track.<\/p>\n

What does our industry\u2019s future look like? What are the FDA, CDC and other federal agencies planning for your business? Are state regulators looking for more than just under-18 tan bans? What does the research really say about indoor tanning? Is there anyone in the media who will listen? Sunday\u2019s keynote presentation at Smart Tan Nashville will cover all of these items in detail, including the ASA\u2019s multi-part action plan to get our industry back on track.<\/p>\n

Nashville is the only event where you\u2019ll get answers to all of your most important questions regarding your indoor tanning business.<\/p>\n

Remember, August 18 is the last day to\u00a0register for Smart Tan Nashville for the early bird\u00a0price of just $99.\u00a0Register now!<\/a><\/p>\n
