Testimonials

GAC is a wonderful, immersive aesthetic meeting that clicks all the boxes: top notch faculty, educational content, and fun social events. I look forward to GAC every year!

Sheila Barbarino, MD

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!

Mara Shorr

The most comprehensive practice management track bar none. It’s a wealth of revenue growth strategies to up level your staff, marketing and processes. You can’t get this much how-to knowledge in one place anywhere else and more than pays for itself.

Catherine Maley

Each year I look forward to GAC. The talks are state of the art, the venue perfect, and organization unparalleled. [It] has a bigger impact on my practice both clinically and administratively than any other conference that I attend.

James Newman, MD

The best part of GAC is the interdisciplinary nature of it and how cordial and polite people are towards each other, even with varying viewpoints on procedures or topics. There are always nuggets of information to pick up and incorporate into your practice, no matter how novice or expert you are in a particular skill. The fusion of knowledge with talented aesthetic providers from around the world is what makes it magical.
