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

This year, we’re bringing you a new program, a new format, and new locations—three of them!

Join us as we explore the theme “Cornerstones for School Success.” All schools face the same core challenges—they must attract potential students, enroll them successfully, create the right conditions for learning, and support them through graduation and their first steps in their new careers. At ABMP, we believe that thriving schools ensure a thriving profession!

If you attended the Forum in the past you might ask, “Why change a great meeting?” Here’s our thinking:

1. Increased Accessibility: The ABMP School Forums usually have a waiting list, so this year we are offering three forums, in three unique cities, on three different dates, to make the ABMP School Forums accessible to more schools.
2. Everyone is Welcome: Options in different locations will help reduce travel costs and school scheduling conflicts, and a smartly condensed new schedule will help attendees save on lodging expenses, while still providing the same caliber and amount of education.
3. Improved Value: We’ve reduced the registration fee to better allow schools to bring deserving administrators and instructors to share in the learning and fun.
4. Expectmore! We’re committed to exceptional event organization, so in addition to outstanding content you’ll find great food, good people, and meaningful opportunities to share. (Did we mention the great food?)

The ABMP School Forums are evolving, and if you are an innovative and inspiring school owner, director, admissions representative, instructor, career services counselor, or curriculum designer, we think you’re going to love our new events!
