Testimonials

James Newman, MD

Facial Plastic - Palo Alto, CA

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!

Gary Linkov, MD

Facial Plastic - New York, NY

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.

Mara Shorr

Industry - Orlando, FL

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!

Corey Maas, MD

Facial Plastic - San Francisco, CA

GAC offers Medical and Surgical Aesthetics specialists, administrators and providers a multidisciplinary educational opportunity that is unparalleled in scope and participation by industry. If you want to educate yourself and staff on aesthetic advances and current standards of care, the GAC should not be missed.

Devinder Mangat, MD

Facial Plastic - Vail, CO

GAC is the only truly multispecialty meeting that offers meaningful input from some of the most exceptional and diverse faculty in a relaxed atmosphere. The interaction that occurs among the faculty as well as between the faculty and attendees is unique to this meeting.

Catherine Maley

Industry - Sauslito, CA

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.

Fred Fedok, MD

Facial Plastic - Gulf Shores, AL

The 2024 GAC – Expect it to continue to live up to its reputation as the original (Starting in Newport Beach, California), the best, and the most expansive and informative multidisciplinary conference on the Aesthetic ecosystem in the world. Year after year Dr. Waldman and staff deliver on the presentation of up-to-date information. Keep tuned in on what your patients need and want!

Bruce Katz, MD

Dermatology - New York, NY

The Global Aesthetics Meeting is one of the best I attend all year and one I very much look forward to. It is one of the few multidisciplinary conferences that involve all four core specialties with an extremely diverse faculty, as well as a great office management component. So not only do I value it’s great educational value, and the camaraderie that I develop with fellow attendees, but my staff also really enjoys it and learns a great deal which benefits our practice. You have to be there and I promise you will not want to miss it again every year.

Elizabeth Houshmand, MD

Dermatology - Dallas, TX

GAC brings together global thought leaders in the fields of Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, Ocuplastics and practioners in Aesthetic Medicine. This provides a unique opportunity to share and learn directly from those outside your own specialty. This collaborative environment is why I love being a part of GAC!

Jay Shorr

Industry - Coral Springs, FL

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.

Lou Haggerty
