Spa & Resort/Medical Aesthetics Conference and Expo to Be Held September 28-29, 2010

Premier Event for Beauty Care, Skin Care and Spa Professionals Returns to New York

NEW YORK, May 25, 2010 - The Spa & Resort/Medical Aesthetics Conference and Expo
(www.spaandresortexpo.com) will return to New York this fall to educate,
inspire, and empower beauty, skin care, and wellness professionals. The
two-day trade show will take place from September 28-29, 2010 at the Jacob K.
Javits Convention Center. The event will be part of HBA Global Events annual
Beauty Week(TM), also at the Javits Center, starting September 28, 2010.

For the second year, Spa & Resort will co-locate with the HBA Global Expo
giving spa owners and managers, and skin care and medical professionals, a
360 degree experience of the entire life cycle of goods, from product
conception to completion. UBMi, which owns and produces the HBA Global Expo &
Conference, has recently assumed the management of the Spa & Resort shows.
Both events showcase hundreds of new product samplings and treatments in the
beauty, spa and aesthetic industries, live product demonstrations, and
exhibitor presentations. One badge will provide attendees with access to all
exhibitors and special booth and pavilion activities on both show floors
during the two-days the shows overlap. Admission to the HBA Conference
Programs taking place in the 1E Hall requires a different registration
package.

"We are very pleased to once again offer the combination of both the Spa
& Resort and HBA Global Expo," said Jill Birkett, Event Director. "Our
successful pairing provides attendees with an unparalleled opportunity to
network with hundreds of leading companies, discover the latest trends and
technical advances, and see first-hand the entire spectrum of product
development."

In addition to the outstanding lineup that attendees and exhibitors have
come to expect, UBMi has enhanced the 2010 program with new, educational
sessions designed for plastic surgeons and dermatologists, as well as spa
owners and skin care professionals, yoga and wellness training, manufacturing
demonstrations, a Trend Spotting Stage and VIP program for spa buyers.

The HBA Global Conference Program will also offer educational programming
on "The Future of Skin Care," and "The Four "Rs" of Spa Success" as well as
other business-building and marketing sessions.
