The Leeds Regional Growth Summit on June 8, 2026, will feature dedicated Business Strategy Roundtables for salon and spa professionals. These sessions aim to address current industry challenges, moving beyond the main exhibition floor for focused discussion.
The roundtables offer a space for collaborative exchange on topics like retail, rebooking, team leadership, and growth strategy. Practical ideas for improving business results will be developed from shared experiences. Attendance is free, but spaces are limited and require advance booking.
A session on "AI In The Salon: Practical Strategies To Support You And Your Team" will be led by Kerri-Ann Bruce. Bruce brings over 18 years of industry experience, having built and sold a multi-six-figure salon brand. She now focuses on mentoring salon owners to enhance efficiency, ensure sustainable growth, and improve team performance through reduced overwhelm.
Another session, "Live AI Clinic: Build Your AI Co-Workers," will be hosted by AI Strategist Marnie Wills. Wills assists business leaders in implementing practical AI solutions to streamline operations and foster growth, building team confidence with technology without complexity.
The main Leeds Regional Growth Summit event takes place at the Royal Armouries Museum. It will include exhibitor connections and Main Stage sessions with industry insights. The inclusion of AI-focused sessions highlights a growing trend for businesses to adopt new technologies for efficiency and client service.
