About GAC

The Global Aesthetics Conference (GAC) was created by Dr. S Randolph Waldman to bring together Key Opinion Leaders from the four core aesthetic specialties – Facial Plastic Surgery, Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, and Oculoplastic Surgery – in a collegial and apolitical environment. It is the only true multispecialty event in the world that is not organized under the banner of a large corporate entity.

Dr. Waldman has now organized almost 60 major conferences. He is the founder and former director of the Vegas Cosmetic Surgery Conference as well as multiple conferences under the banner of the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery. His multispecialty philosophy is the central tenet of GAC and will always emphasize meeting content before industry sponsored sessions.

Dr. Waldman has always believed strongly that a true multispecialty meeting features “something for everyone” – a session always taking place somewhere on-site that is beneficial to every attendee. He also pioneered the practice management and marketing component of aesthetic conferences and continues to raise the bar on business enhancement sessions.

We recognize that some attendees prefer short and succinct lectures while others want longer more in-depth lectures, of which the GAC program features both

Finally, we aim to include both younger and more experienced faculty, and unlike many other meetings our faculty changes from year to year. Only the best and most qualified are sought out. The expertise of our elite faculty is secondary to no other event in the world! So come join us at the world-class, AAA Four Diamond rated South Beach venue, the Loews Miami Beach Hotel.

Take a few days out of your practice to engage and network with colleagues from around the globe and we guarantee that you will not only gain valuable insight and tips for your practice, but you will enjoy both a fun and collegial experience! And be sure and bring your entire staff. Like you, they will learn, have fun, and bring new ideas back to your office to increase your business and improve your practice.​

The GAC conference is the most comprehensive aesthetic meeting covering surgery, minimally invasive and office based treatments coupled with practice management. The expert panels are not to be missed!

James Newman, MD

One of the things I love most about GAC is the ability to pull together multiple specialties in one space, including a full track for practice management. The agenda is packed each day, and I often hear from attendees they have trouble deciding which of the courses they want to attend because there are so many. I’m proud to have participated from the conference’s inception, and always recommend my clients attend GAC!
