Take the networking further with special events that connect you with other Symposium attendees—old friends and new!
Party of the Decades
Saturday | 8:00pm-10:00pm
You're invited to the Party of the Decades! Don duds and 'dos from your favorite decade-from togas and leg warmers to go-go boots and poodle skirts-for this party around the pool. This is a great opportunity to engage in some fun, fast-paced networking with your peers! We can't wait to see your Hairspray-inspired bouffant. Or perhaps a Farrah Fawcett flip?
Aces for Advocacy 9-Hole Golf Party
- Play a Round and Raise Money for Government Affairs!
Friday | 6:00pm-10:00pm
$60/person; $200/team of 4
Arrive on Friday and sneak in a little golf party after dark, while helping raise money for a good cause! Don't worry, clubs are provided and no skill is required to enjoy this casual 9-hole golf party, which includes drinks and snacks along the course. The proceeds from this event will help fund PBA's government affairs initiatives, including the Congressional tip-tax legislation that could return more than $6 million to the industry each year. Network and play your way to a Friday night of fundraising fun (with exciting prizes for the winners)!

Harms User Group Session
Front Desk: The Power of Position
Saturday | 3:00pm-5:00pm
Presented by John Harms
Learn ways your front desk staff can encourage growth and affect the bottom line. This class will go beyond basic appointment booking and ringing up sales. You will learn how to outline specific tasks the front desk can perform to increase their value and professionalism. The front desk is not a cost center, but rather a value center.
The List Reception
Saturday | 6:00pm-7:00pm
It's about time to meet in person! "The List" is PBA's email listserve-where members share solutions to salon/spa ownership problems. At the List Reception, listees can connect face to face. Non-listees can find out about the benefits of participating in the List.
First-Time Attendee/Mentor Orientation Reception
Saturday | 6:00pm-7:00pm
If this is your first time attending Symposium, be sure to attend this special reception. You'll connect with other first-time attendees-and the experienced mentors who can show you around the Symposium block.

Running or Yoga
Monday | 6:00am-7:00am
It's about time to start a Monday morning off right! Begin your day with an energizing yoga session or jog led by PBA Leadership Council members and get a jump start on the day.
