(PRWEB) April 5, 2004 --Thousands of estheticians and spa industry professionals converged on the Hotel Inter-Continental in Dallas on March 28th and 29th for the third annual International Congress of Esthetics, Southwest, trade show and educational conference. Just six months after the last Dallas show, the Hotel Inter-Continental filled up again, and the first International Congress of Esthetics of 2004 proved to be yet another huge success.

According to Laura Bazo, Conference Coordinator, the Dallas International Congress of Esthetics is growing quickly, and this year's show exceeded expectations, with attendance 20 percent higher than last year's show in Dallas.

"Feedback from our attendees was very positive. They were extremely pleased with the professional caliber of all our educators, from the workshops to the General Session, and the chance to network with other professionals and industry leaders," Bazo says. "The ambiance was very exciting, and the exhibit halls and workshops were filled to capacity," she adds.

The International Congress of Esthetics is the only spa and skin care industry trade show to have an all-inclusive registration fee, which covers entrance for all days to the exhibition hall, general session lectures and demonstrations, exhibitors' workshops and classes, and continuing education classes where applicable. Special, discounted rates for hotel accommodations, airfare and car rentals are also available to attendees.
