Russell said. \u201cSmart Tan selected Stossel as the keynote speaker for a conference where new Smart Tan programs to \u2018Give UV a Break\u2019 will be unveiled as part of the most-comprehensive business-reform conference program we\u2019ve ever conducted.\u201d As a 19-time Television Emmy winner, Stossel joined Fox Business Network in 2009 as the host of \u201cStossel\u201d - a weekly program highlighting consumer issues with a libertarian viewpoint. The long-time anchor of ABC\u2019s primetime news magazine show \u201c20\/20\u201d earned fame exposing consumer fraud and outlandish injustice in his now-famous \u201cGive Us A Break\u201d segments. His best-selling books, Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel \u2014 Why Everything You Know is Wrong and Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists solidified his status as a common sense journalist in a world of things that don\u2019t make any sense. \u201cStossel headlines a convention where Smart Tan will unveil an all-new program you can implement in your town to professionalize your tanning businesses, to improve your business practices and to fully blow the whistle on Sun Scare fraud in every community in North America,\u201d Russell said. \u201cThe tanning community is on the cusp of major changes as the economy turns this year \u2014 we want to help the industry\u2019s best salons be in position to take advantage of those changes.\u201d Smart Tan Downtown \u2014 Oct. 14-16 in Downtown Nashville: Is North America\u2019s only trade show with every major tanning supplier.
