Education Conference
The RMTAO Education Conference will take place virtually on June 1-2, 2024.
The RMTAO Education Conference is an educational event that emphasizes excellence in the profession of massage therapy. This includes excellence when it comes to running a business, and excellence when it comes to offering the most effective possible treatments. The 2024 conference will provide RMTs with the tools they need to achieve excellence in their practice through: gaining knowledge on the several areas such as behind the scenes of running a successful practice, learning more about how to effectively treat patients with specific conditions, and reviewing the diverse ways massage therapy can benefit various population types.
Duration and Conference Type
This will be a 2 day virtual conference, so you can enjoy it from the comfort of your home. If you're unable to attend all sessions, or would like to review them, recordings will also be available for all the sessions on the day(s) you sign up for, for up to 3 months after the conference date.
