Strategies, a leading business coaching and training company for salons, spas, and medspas, has just released the full agenda for their two-day Team-Based Experience (TBX23), which will take place on October 1-2, 2023, at the DoubleTree Resort Paradise Valley in Scottsdale, AZ.

TBX23 is a two-day event designed to help employee-based salons, spas, and medspas build inspired teams — regardless of size or method of pay.
The theme for this year’s Team-Based Experience is “YOU + WE = TOGETHER.” Attendees will leave with a firm understanding that when You and WE come TOGETHER, it creates a team experience that is felt by everyone that comes in contact with your company — ownership, individual team members, clients, community, and vendors.
Keynote and breakout sessions will encourage owners and their teams to work side-by-side to create more growth, innovation, engagement, and communication so that everyone can grow further and faster.
“If you use the word team to describe any aspect of your salon, spa, or medspa, you need to be at TBX23”, says Strategies President Michael Yost. “Every keynote and breakout session will inspire owners and their teams to work side-by-side to create more growth, innovation, engagement, and communication. At TBX23, we will challenge YOU to be a tenacious leader in your own space...whether you're an owner, manager, or team member."
TBX23 will also host the 9th Annual Team-Based Pay Awards, highlighting 2023’s best and brightest Team-Based Pay salons, spas, and medspas across nine categories.
Ticket prices are currently $749 and will increase to full price ($1,195) on 9/1/23. Visit https://teambasedexperience.com/ for full agenda and registration.
Official sponsors as of press time include Wella, Phorest, Meevo, ERGO, Kopsa Otte, Oway, Vish, Thrive Business Services, Sustain Beauty Co., World Class Financial Services, Illume, SalonClouds, Ultra Skin Services, and Unicorn Uprising.
