Monday’s general session will kick off with a focus on technology. Randi Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Zuckerberg Media, will present “10 Trends in Tech You Need to Know Right Now”. Dr. Pamela Peeke, internationally recognized expert, physician, scientist and author in integrative medicine, will also be on hand to discuss “Brave New Spa World: Tooling Tech Touch for Tomorrow”.

Wednesday’s general session will include a presentation from Scott Harrison, a former club promoter who founded and is the current CEO of the non-profit, charity: water.

A new pre-Conference workshop will also be available to attendees on Sunday, entitled “Ruth Stricker’s Wise Voices”.
