2017 ABMP School Forum Locations and Dates Announced

Since 1997, the ABMP School Forums have brought together the brightest minds in bodywork education to share ideas that shape the future of massage therapy.

In 2017, we’re bringing the next installments in that tradition to two exciting locations. The ABMP School Forum will take place at the Grand Hotel Minneapolis in Minneapolis, Minnesota, April 28–29, and at the Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina in Charleston, South Carolina, October 6–7.

Attendees to the ABMP School Forums include school owners, directors, admissions representatives, instructors, career services counselors, and curriculum designers. Presentation topics will include “Gainful Employment: Bridging the Gaps Between Clients, Practitioners, Employers, and Schools,” “ELAP! ELAP? A Guide to Practical Implementation,” “Marketing Boot Camp—Strategies Every School Can Use,” “Classroom vs. Online? How About Both,” and “Your Student Clinic: When Learning and Profits Make Friends.”
