Time is your most valuable resource. How are you spending it? Let Symposium guide you to best practices for prioritizing goals, managing tasks and creating accountability that can transform your business.

"Symposium is probably the salon owner's number one most valuable benefit of membership," says NeCole Cumberlander, president of PBA's Salon/Spa Leadership Council. "Members from around the country take the time to come together for education that can transform their businesses for the better."

Networking Fun. The education at Symposium doesn't only happen during sessions. Some of the most valuable insights come at the pool, around a restaurant's table or at a party. Don't miss these events:

Time to…Connect

This year, first-time attendees will be paired with experienced mentors, and they'll all meet up at the First-Time Attendee Reception on Saturday night. Those on the email listserve can connect face-to-face at the second-annual "List" Reception.

Time to…Party

You're invited to the Party of the Decades! Don duds and 'dos from your favorite decade-from togas to leg warmers, go-go boots to poodle skirts-for this kick-off party around the pool on Saturday night. We can't wait to see your Hairspray-inspired bouffant. Or perhaps a Farrah Fawcett flip?

Time to…Share

We're bringing back the most popular part of the last Symposium-the Networking Breakfast Round Tables on Monday morning. Each table has an experienced host and will be filled with members sharing insights into topics such as marketing tips, compensation solutions, employee retention, manager education and more.

"Symposium is an opportunity to break out of the bubble of your own business and connect with other owners-owners you admire, owners with business challenges just like yours and even newbie owners who look to you for advice on how to succeed," says John Galietti, co-chair of the Symposium Education Committee and vice-president of the Salon/Spa Leadership Council. "It's inspiring on so many levels."

You don't want to miss the premier business education event for salon and spa owners! This year's theme is "It's About Time"-so take the time to get the inspiration you need. Make time to attend Symposium this January.
