ABMP School Forum in Minneapolis 

Dozens of educators from massage and bodywork programs across the country gathered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for the first of ABMP’s 2017 School Forums. Over two days, attendees shared challenges, ideas, and meals while hearing presentations including “Gainful Employment: Bridging the Gaps Between Clients, Practitioners, Employers, and Schools,” “ELAP! ELAP? A Guide to Practical Implementation,” and “Classroom vs. Online? How About Both.”

The final 2017 ABMP School Forum will be held in Charleston, South Carolina, October 6–7. School owners, directors, admissions representatives, instructors, career services counselors, and curriculum designers can learn more and register at www.abmp.com/educators/abmp-school-forums.

Here's what several attendees had to say about the Minneapolis event.

"Of the two school conferences that I have attended in the past three months, this one was hands down the best!"

—Pauline, National American University

 

"The dynamic discussions, camaraderie, and inspiration were so valuable in motivating me to continue my vital work in the massage education industry."

—Trevin, East-West Healing Arts Institute

 

"Don't miss the next one!"
