Arlington, VA — October 6, 2026 — Trifecta Collective LLC and the American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) today announced a long-term strategic partnership focused on the continued growth and evolution of the Medical Spa Show (MSS).

Now in its 10th year, the Medical Spa Show is the leading event dedicated exclusively to the medical aesthetics and med spa industry, bringing together med spa owners, providers, medical directors, practice leaders and the industry’s top brands for education, innovation and connection. Since its launch, the show has welcomed nearly 10,000 attendees representing over 5,200 practices and has hosted more than 750 exhibiting brands. The 2027 event is scheduled for April 15–18, at Wynn Las Vegas and is expected to draw more than 3,500 medical aesthetics professionals, continuing the show’s decade-long tradition of growth.

As part of the acquisition, Trifecta Collective and the American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) have entered into a long-term partnership that will keep AmSpa closely connected to the Medical Spa Show and its community. AmSpa will continue to play an important role in supporting the event, bringing its deep industry expertise, member relationships and commitment to education to MSS. The long-term partnership combines AmSpa’s connection to the medical aesthetics community with Trifecta Collective’s expertise in producing and growing industry-leading trade shows, creating a strong foundation for the continued growth and evolution of MSS.

“The Medical Spa Show has become the premier event for the medical aesthetics industry, and we are incredibly proud of what it represents. This partnership with Trifecta creates an opportunity to grow the show’s reach, enhance the experience for attendees and exhibitors, and continue raising the bar for the industry,” said Alex Thiersch, AmSpa’s Founder and Chairman of the Board. “AmSpa will remain an integral part of MSS, and we are excited to work alongside Trifecta as we build on the show’s success together. AmSpa remains fully committed to serving our members and will continue to play a central role in shaping the future of the industry.”

The current Medical Spa Show team will remain in place, ensuring continuity in leadership, customer satisfaction, and the high-quality attendee and exhibitor experience the show is known for.

Trifecta Collective is a leading independent show organizer with significant experience both in the tradeshow industry and in building market-leading events across multiple industry sectors.

“The medical aesthetics market is one of the fastest-growing segments in healthcare and wellness, and MSS is its definitive gathering place,” said Rick McConnell, Chief Executive Officer of Trifecta Collective. “We have great respect for the incredible work the AmSpa team has done to build an event that truly puts community first, and we believe our deep tradeshow expertise is the perfect complement to carry the Medical Spa Show to new heights. We are committed to building on the exceptional foundation AmSpa has created and to serving this remarkable community for its next decade and beyond.”
