Stossel speaking at tanning expo 2011

This is written by Smart Tan. I thought it would be of interest. I hope to be attending.
As a keynote speaker at Smart Tan’s Annual convention, Stossel follows in the footsteps of Rancic and many other memorable programs, including:
· Tanning Legend and Hollywood icon George Hamilton, who hosted the memorable “Tan-ight Show.”
· Legal legend Erin Brockovich, who compared her legendary corporate battle with tanning’s battle against Sun Scare.
· Legendary business guru Tom Peters, who shared his vision on leadership at a time when the tanning business was spawning a new generation.
· Chicken Soup for the Soul co-creator Marc Victor Hanson, who shared his inspirational message of entrepreneurial vision.
· Author and motivator Amanda Gore, whose message on change set the tone for the transitions in the market in 2008.
· Author and beauty store entrepreneur John DiJulius, whose “New Service Model” program hit home in 2006.
· Author and TV personality Larry Winget, whose 2000 keynote mixed wry wit with sage business advice.
The keynotes set up full-business conferences utilizing hired professional consultants and expert panels — an intensive process that Smart Tan manages for 10 months before the event.
“We review hundreds of potential keynote speakers every year — there are so many potential speakers out there, and many of them frankly deliver hollow messages or aren’t right for what Smart Tan stands for,” Levy said. “There is a lot more involved than just booking a speaker each year. Once we pick a speaker, we work with them to make the presentation something of true value for all the Smart Tan family. We take that responsibility very seriously.”
The process of choosing Stossel this year was especially intensive. As a 19-time Television Emmy winner, Stossel joined Fox Business Network in 2009 as the host of “Stossel” — a weekly program highlighting consumer issues with a libertarian viewpoint. The long-time anchor of ABC’s primetime news magazine show “20/20” earned fame exposing consumer fraud and outlandish injustice in his now-famous “Give Us A Break” segments. His best-selling books, Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel — Why Everything You Know is Wrong and Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists solidified his status as a common sense journalist in a world of things that don’t make any sense.
“Stossel headlines a convention where Smart Tan will unveil an all-new program you can implement in your town to professionalize your tanning businesses, to improve your business practices and to fully blow the whistle on Sun Scare fraud in every community in North America,” Russell said. “The tanning community is on the cusp of major changes as the economy turns this year — we want to help the industry’s best salons be in position to take advantage of those changes.”
