Spa and Wellness Events 2027

Spa and wellness events cover a wide and welcoming world: spa directors and therapists, massage specialists, wellness coaches, retreat owners and the brands that supply them. Some are serious business summits, others are relaxed expos where anyone curious about wellbeing can try treatments and meet practitioners.

On the business side, the ISPA Conference and Expo meets in Las Vegas each March, Spatec North America brings spa buyers and suppliers together in Miami Beach in August, and the World Spa and Wellness Convention arrives in London in October. The Global Wellness Summit heads to Phuket in November 2026. Massage has a strong calendar of its own, with the AMTA National Convention in Savannah, and the World Massage Festival and American Massage Championships in Las Vegas each summer. For the public, wellbeing expos such as the Holistic Health and Healing Expo in Cherry Hill and the Newcastle Wellbeing Expo open their doors to everyone, and World Wellness Weekend invites people everywhere to join in each September.

Every spa and wellness event is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, from trade summits to open expos and awards nights.

How the wellness year unfolds

Spring opens with ISPA in Las Vegas and the big beauty fairs in Europe, which all have spa halls. Summer is massage season in North America, late summer and autumn bring the major summits in Asia and Europe, and the awards season runs from autumn into the new year.

Choosing the right events

• Running a spa: ISPA, Spatec North America and the World Spa and Wellness Convention focus on spa business, buying and leadership.
• Massage therapists: the AMTA National Convention, the World Massage Festival and the National Massage Championship in London offer education and competition.
• Thinking globally: the Global Wellness Summit and the Destination Deluxe Wellness Summit in Bangkok explore where wellness is heading.
• Open to all: wellbeing expos and World Wellness Weekend welcome the public.

Travelling for a wellness event

Many summits are held in resorts, so staying on site is often the easiest choice and part of the experience. Book early, as resort rooms are limited, and check whether the event is invitation only or open to registered professionals.
