Held over a continuous 48 hours, on Sunday and Monday, 10th and 11th November 2019, the first-ever Global Virtual Aesthetics Summit 2019 was a phenomenal success. Over 1,432 Aesthetic professionals attended from over 22 countries including America, UK, Australia, India and as far afield as Grand Cayman, Russia and the Philippines. Clinical staff, plastic surgeons, doctors, and press all attended this groundbreaking event, joining seminars and workshops, networking and visiting exhibition stands, all hosted in a virtual space.
Using pioneering virtual technology, GVAS brought together some of the most brilliant minds and groundbreaking Aesthetic Companies in the Industry. There were 7,384 Exhibition Booth Visits with each exhibitor generating 50 to 150 leads. Clinics and practitioners from as far afield as Istanbul, Brazil and Saudi Arabia logged into the GVAS Exhibition spaces, seminars and networking lounge.
The most popular workshops were the hands on with the masters, practical demonstrations and the topics of injectables. The top five most watched workshops from GVAS were, ‘Essentials: Facial Analysis – Every Face is Unique’ which was watched over 700 times in 47hrs, as well The Masters – Mid Face and Periorbital, the workshop on Full Face, and the session on Upper Face and Temples. As well as the seminar on Global Trends in Injectables.
“GVAS has been a dream of mine for a long time. It was a massive effort to put together, with years of planning and hours and hours of working with so many different countries and regions. As a result of this, the event has been a phenomenal success, exceeding all of our expectations. Virtual visitors attended from countries all over the world. GVAS offered these clinics and practitioners access to lessons and seminars from some the worlds leading minds in the Aesthetics Industry. Access that would have been impossible before. The feedback we have had so far has been overwhelming, with everyone so excited about this innovative way of learning, networking and attending a conference,”
said Stephen Handisides, Director of GVAS and MyFaceMyBody.
“I can honestly say that I was surprised that the concept of GVAS was so well-received by my staff. I typically have difficulty in finding enough lectures at conferences for my staff to attend so much so that many times I do not take them. They were so excited that they blocked out their schedules to ensure they wouldn’t miss any of the speakers. My staff basically jumped all over this new learning concept!”
– Thomas E. Young, MD – Young Medical Spa®
“GVAS had some great talks with something for everyone. The live demonstrations were great for the nurses and the reception staff as many of them had not had the chance to see some of the procedures, like threads, being done. It’s great that we can access the content for the 30 days as not all staff were able to access all presentations on the day due to appointments etc. Congratulations on a great event.”
