July 23-25, 2027
Since 2006, the World Massage Festival has brought together massage therapists and bodywork professionals from around the world for hands-on continuing education, the American Massage Championships, and a week that regulars describe as a family reunion. We built it to honor the pioneers of massage therapy, and to give working therapists something warmer than a corporate trade show. Twenty years later, that’s still the difference.
The next World Massage Festival runs July 25–30, 2027 at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, with the American Massage Championships July 23–25.
Here is a breakdown of Festival:
1. Continuing Education & Workshops – Up to 24 hours of NCBTMB-approved hands-on CE, taught by respected educators from around the world. Learn ethics, new modalities, technique refinements you can use on your first client back.
2. The American Massage Championships – WMF hosts this national competition with the International Massage Association. Therapists compete live across categories including clinical, eastern, and sports massage and then judged on technique, ergonomics, flow, and innovation. It’s the rare chance to watch excellent bodywork happen in real time.
The next American Massage Championships runs July 23–25, 2027 at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas.
3. Networking & Community – Unlike typical corporate conferences, the WMF is widely known for its warm, “family reunion” atmosphere. It brings together a global community of passionate healers, from students and solo practitioners to school owners and spa directors, allowing them to share stories, collaborate, and build lifelong friendships.
4. The Exhibit Hall & Vendors – Try before you buy. Manufacturers and industry brands bring tables, tools, lotions, and equipment to the floor, with demonstrations running throughout. Put your hands on it, ask the person who made it, then decide.
5. How it Works (Registration) – We offer two packages.
