Welcome to the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, Episode 209. Hosted by Matt Phillips, creator of runchatlive.com, all episodes are recorded live on the Sports Therapy Association YouTube channel and Facebook page. Join us every Tuesday at 8pm (UK time) to engage with our guests directly! After a two-week summer break, we dive into the upcoming Therapy Expo 2024, taking place November 27-28 at the Birmingham NEC. Yes, that's over 90 days away, but every year (the STA has been at every Therapy Expo since it started back in 2013) we hear from therapists who didn’t manage to book time out of clinic early enough, didn’t look into travel options, cheap early accomodation deals, and as a result couldn’t go. So, this episode is your official wake up call for Therapy Expo 2024, to get your affairs in order and join us at the Birmingham NEC on Wed Nov27th & Thurs 28th! Our guests, Therapy Expo Content Producer Molly Benson and Business Development Manager Vernon Smeed, along with Anna Maria Mazzieri, Director of The ST School, and Gary Benson, founder of the STA, discuss what makes Therapy Expo unique. Learn about the benefits of booking early, networking opportunities, and how this event can enhance your practice and business.
