Today, Edie Weiner, Jared Weiner and Erica Orange are heading to Turkey for the 2010 Global Spa Summit.  This year’s Summit will examine the spa and wellness industries in relation to outside industries and will explore ideas and opportunities for the future. The agenda will discover bridges to new markets, health and wellness tourism, technology and social networking, architecture and design, all in the context of looking toward the future.

Edie will be the opening keynote speaker for the Summit:

Leading our venture into the future is well-known futurist Edie Weiner, President of Weiner, Edrich, and Brown. One of the most influential “future-focused” analysts, Edie helps high-profile organizations understand complex social, economic, political, and technological transformations. And with the 2010 Summit theme of “Bridges Worth Building,” Edie will empower spa and wellness leaders to identify the right bridges to build, whether to new industries, markets, customer bases, or regions.
