Published July 26, 2023
By now, you may have heard about iconic, Vagaro’s annual conference geared toward & formulated for those in the salon, barber, beauty, wellness & fitness industries. You may have even thought about buying tickets, but iconic is fairly new (this is our second-annual event!) and perhaps you don’t have all the context as to why this is the top industry event of the year. Well, we’re here to let you know about all the different reasons why iconic.23 is not to be missed! Read on to find out about all the perks, activities, celebrity speakers and opportunities to network up & party down!
The Business Knowledge
Our overarching goal is to engage, inspire and educate through this momentous event. Network with your peers, other entrepreneurs who’ve established success through the utilization of Vagaro, and inspirational leaders in your industry. You’ll gain insight and knowledge around the platform, along with strategies to help you get started with the software & scale your business to the next level of success.
The Specialist Insights
This year, we have dedicated sessions where Vagaro Training Specialists will be teaching you all the profit-boosting tips & tricks that Vagaro has to offer, and how you can implement them into your daily routine. As always, our team will also be available to answer any questions in between sessions too. If you’re new to our software, thinking about switching, or looking for a way to elevate business, we’ll walk you through what Vagaro can do for you, step by step.
While we're teaching you how to get the most out of your software, so it’s also a great opportunity to have your questions answered in real time. This isn’t just about training—it’s about inside tips for how to make technology work for you. You’ll also have the chance to gain exclusive insights from industry pros about how they launched & grew their businesses into six-figure money making machines, and learn how Vagaro can help you get found, booked & paid like never before.
Cruising with Creators
We’re taking it to the seas! Come cruise with your favorite industry creators and the Vagaro crew as we set sail for a scenic dinner on the San Diego Bay. As mentioned, some of the biggest names in the business will be aboard to have a good time. Onboard entertainment includes a DJ to get the party going after a beautiful sunset dinner.
