Global Aesthetics Conference (GAC) has become one of my favorite conferences of the year. As a faculty member since the GAC began, I have referred countless attendees since it is one of the only meetings where practice management and business are given equal time to the surgical/non-surgical component, so that all levels of attendees can benefit from all of the educational knowledge. The time that is invested is insurmountable to the knowledge that will be gained from attending. Please join me once again at 2024 GAC.
