Get ready for Spa Life Ireland 2022

The 2022 edition of Spa Life Ireland is set to take place at the renowned Galgorm Spa & Golf Resort, Northern Ireland, 12-14 September. 

Described as ‘unique and exclusively business-focused’, this year’s spa industry event is designed to motivate and inspire both the country’s leading spa operators and the wellness brands that support them. 

Backed by Tourism Northern Ireland, Spa Life Ireland will offer an ‘exciting mix’ of commercially-directed networking and business development activities, as well as a comprehensive speaker programme and an expo arena, where brands will showcase the latest innovations.

Energising speaker line-up

The education programme boasts an ‘energising’ speaker line-up, including WeTalkWellbeing founder; Dr Glenda Rivoallan, Center Parcs’ group head of spa; Key Pennington, trans awareness trainer and British Beauty Council and HABIA DEI committee member; Sam Marshall; and social media expert; Ashleigh Watson. 

Speakers will cover topics such as staff motivation and retention, social media savvy and the potential business benefits of diversity, equity and inclusivity. 

“It’s clear that this year’s event programme has caught the imagination of the Irish spa community, as we’re on schedule to achieve numbers – attendance and revenue – that exceed our pre-Covid results, which we are delighted about,” said Spa Life Ireland director, Kilian Fisher.

Immersive wellness experience 

New for this year is an immersive wellness experience, where delegates can experience the spa facilities and rituals offered in the resort’s Thermal Village and Serenity Gardens. 

Additionally, the event – which aims to foster collaboration – will provide a relaxed but professional environment, as well as a host of network opportunities, including a speed networking forum and  Gala Dinner, where spa professionals can gather, connect and learn.

“We understand that, as busy spa professionals, your time is precious, valuable and limited. So, we offer a targeted and more cost-effective approach to event delivery,” said Spa Life Ireland founder and director Andrew Hammond. 

“We take care of all the arrangements, including accommodation, meeting schedules, access to the spa and thermal experiences, plus meals and refreshments, so you can focus on the business development opportunities and building your network of contacts with peers and suppliers.”
