Conference and Expo Stand Ideas We Cater For

Trade Show and Expo Stands

Every stand on the floor has a screen, a bowl of mints and a person trying to make eye contact. A massage chair gives you a queue instead, and a queue gives your team ten uninterrupted minutes with each person sitting in it.

Conference Breaks and Wellness Zones

Coffee and a biscuit is a break in name only. A ten-minute chair massage or a guided stretch between sessions sends delegates back into the room able to concentrate, which is what the agenda assumed would happen anyway.

Multi-Day Conferences and Summits

Day three of a summit is where attendance quietly drops. Rotating a wellness zone across the venue keeps delegates on site through the afternoon sessions rather than back at the hotel answering email.

Speaker and VIP Green Rooms

Keynote speakers spend the hour before they go on either rehearsing or worrying. A short massage in the green room is a small piece of hospitality that speakers tend to mention when someone asks how the event was run.

A simple way to plan your conference

How Blys Partners With Conference and Expo Organisers

Get access to America’s largest network of independent massage, beauty and wellness providers through one platform, at convention centres and venues across the country.

Step 1: Get a free quote

Tell us the dates, the venue, your delegate numbers and whether you’re staffing a stand, a break zone or both. Someone from the Blys team will come back with a quote within one business day.

Step 2: Place your booking

Once you’re happy with the quote we share the brief with the network of independent providers on Blys and confirm as soon as one accepts. You’re only charged after the booking is confirmed.

Step 3: On the day

Your mobile provider will travel to your workplace or event location with plenty of time to set up and bring their professional-grade equipment with them. All you have to do is get ready to enjoy the experience.

Popular Services You Can Add to Your Conference or Expo

Every service can be adjusted to suit your delegate numbers, your floor space and how many days you’re running.

Office chair massage

Event Massage

Treat your guests to a head, neck, and shoulder chair massage or a table massage that will leave them feeling energised and refreshed. Professional local massage therapists will provide a massage chair, towels, hygienic wipes, and products.

Mini-Mani-Nail-Bar

Nail Bars

A manicure or nail tidy-up station keeps guests seated and talking, which is exactly what you want before the event. Tailored to men and women you can choose to offer guests classic manicures, acrylic, shellac or a simple nail tidy up and hand or foot massage.

Hair and makeup touch up bar

Express Beauty and Grooming

For conferences with an evening function, a hair, makeup or grooming station in the late afternoon means delegates go straight from the last session to the gala without a round trip to the hotel.

zen massage

Guided Meditation

A group meditation session between keynotes gives delegates an actual reset, and it fills a fifteen-minute gap in the agenda better than another networking prompt on a slide.

chair massage at work

Chair Massage

A corporate chair massage also known as a seated massage is a massage treatment provided to clients using a special ergonomic massage chair. A chair massage is done through clothing, without oil and focuses on the individual’s neck, shoulders and head and is perfect for relieving stress and tension.

desk massage at work

Desk Massage

Desk massages are a great option for offices short on space because as the name suggests, they’re given while seated at your desk. A desk massage is done through clothing, without oil and focuses on the individual’s neck, shoulders and head, targeting areas strained by long hours sitting at a computer.

Table Massage

Just like in a spa, you can book and enjoy a table massage in your office. Your massage therapist will bring everything with them including a massage table, towels, oil and music.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a few questions?

How do you attract people to your trade show booth?

Give them a reason to stop that isn’t a pitch. A massage chair works because the queue is visible from across the floor, delegates get something they actually want, and your team gets ten minutes with a captive and relaxed person instead of thirty seconds with someone walking past.

How many massage therapists do I need for a conference?

Uptake at events usually sits around 70%, and one therapist gets through about four people an hour at fifteen minutes each. For 200 delegates over a two-hour break, one therapist won’t be enough, so tell us your numbers and we’ll size the booking properly.

How much space do I need on my stand?

Chair massage needs about 1.5m x 1m per therapist, which fits on most 3m x 3m stands with room left for the queue. Table massage needs closer to 2.5m x 1.5m and suits a breakout room rather than an open floor.

Are event massages safe?

Yes, event massages are safe when provided by qualified and experienced massage therapists.

Massage therapists on the Blys platform are fully qualified, insured and experienced, ensuring that your event massages are safe and enjoyable for all guests. Massage therapists also take all necessary precautions to ensure the health and safety of our clients, including providing clean and sanitized equipment, using high-quality products, and adhering to strict hygiene protocols.

If you have any concerns about the safety of event massages, feel free to contact us for more information.

Do therapists use oil at conferences?

No. Chair massage at conferences and expos happens fully clothed with no oil, so delegates go straight back into a session without needing to change or shower.

What are the benefits of chair massage at corporate events?

The benefits of chair massage at corporate events include:

  • Reducing Stress and Boosting Morale: Chair massage can help to reduce stress and promote relaxation, improving the overall mood and morale of employees, which can lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction.
  • Relieving Muscle Tension: Chair massage can help to relieve muscle tension and stiffness, which can be caused by long periods of sitting or standing at work.
  • Improving Circulation: Chair massage can help to improve blood flow and circulation, reducing the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders and promoting overall health and well-being.
  • Boosting Energy and Focus: Chair massage can help to increase energy levels and mental focus, which can improve productivity and concentration at work.
  • Demonstrating Company Appreciation: Offering chair massage at corporate events demonstrates that the company values the well-being of its employees, which can improve employee retention and loyalty.

How do event massage services benefit corporate office employees?

Event massage services can provide several benefits to corporate office employees, including:

  • Stress Reduction: Corporate office employees often face high levels of stress from work pressure, deadlines, and long hours. Event massage services can provide a relaxing break from these stressors, allowing employees to recharge and refocus.
  • Improved Physical Health: Sitting at a desk for long periods can lead to a range of physical health issues, including neck and back pain, headaches, and poor posture. Massage can help to alleviate these symptoms, improving overall physical health and well-being.
  • Boosted Morale and Productivity: By providing event massage services, employers can demonstrate a commitment to the health and well-being of their employees. This can lead to increased morale and productivity, as employees feel valued and appreciated.
  • Improved Mental Health: Massage can also provide benefits for mental health, including reduced anxiety and improved mood. This can have a positive impact on employee well-being and work performance.

Overall, event massage services can benefit corporate office employees by reducing stress, improving physical and mental health, boosting morale and productivity, and demonstrating a commitment to employee well-being.

Can you cover a multi-day event?

Yes. Multi-day conferences are usually staffed on rotating shifts across the run, and the roster is built around your session times and exhibition hours.

How do event massage services compare to other wellness activities in terms of their impact on employee well-being and satisfaction?

Event massage services can be a highly effective wellness activity for improving employee well-being and satisfaction, but their impact may vary depending on the context and the needs of the employees.

Compared to other wellness activities, such as yoga classes, meditation sessions, or fitness challenges, event massage services have the advantage of providing immediate stress relief and relaxation. Massage therapy has been shown to reduce stress levels, improve circulation, relieve muscle tension and pain, and promote feelings of well-being and relaxation.

In addition, event massage services can be tailored to the specific needs and preferences of individual employees. For example, some employees may prefer a gentle, relaxing massage, while others may benefit from a deeper, more therapeutic massage. This level of customization can help ensure that employees receive the maximum benefit from the massage service.

Overall, event massage services can be a highly effective wellness activity for improving employee well-being and satisfaction, but they should be considered in the context of a larger wellness program that includes a variety of activities to meet the diverse needs of employees.

How much space do I need?

Massage chairs only require 3ft x 5ft of space, so they can be set up almost anywhere. If you would prefer a table massage and have a private room available, you’ll require 6.5ft x 6.5ft of space.

Can you provide a full day event?

Absolutely! Our event massage services are offered from 6 am till midnight, 7 days a week.

Can you work with any type of budget?

Absolutely. No matter your budget we can find a solution that works for you and your needs.

Can I request providers to use specific products that I provide them?

Yes for sure. You can opt for providers to wear your branded merchandise, use your products and equipment and also brief them on your key USP’s to help sell your brand and products to your guests.

Is there a cancellation fee?

All confirmed group bookings (including but not limited to bookings for offices / teams, events, and other groups of 4 or more people) will be subject to a 10% cancellation fee if cancelled after the booking has been confirmed. Additionally, the following will also apply:

48 – 72 hours prior to the scheduled booking start time = 20% fee
24 – 48 hours prior to the scheduled booking start time = 50% fee
24 hours prior to the scheduled booking start time = 100% fee

What cities are you in?

Currently, you can book services through Blys in Las Vegas, Chicago, Houston, Austin, Los Angeles, Dallas, Denver – with more cities coming soon.

Please see our locations page for a full list of locations

How do I know I’m getting a quality service?

To ensure you’re in great hands (literally) all providers on the Blys platform are carefully vetted and must complete a comprehensive onboarding process before joining the platform.

We require providers to have relevant qualifications or experience for the services they offer, up to date insurance and valid police checks. We also have an internal rating system for our providers.

How does parking work?

Mobile wellness providers are required to bring quite a bit of equipment and therefore parking on the premise is preferred. If that isn’t available, we’ll ask you to specify the closest spot to park and if it requires any costs to be covered.

How much notice do I have to provide?

We require 48 hours notice to secure your booking.

When and how do I pay for corporate event massage bookings?

We require all corporate event massage bookings to be paid in advance. We can accept credit cards (an invoice will be sent) or we can raise an invoice and email it to you.

Do I need to allocate a separate room?

Not really. Having onsite chair massage or seated massage as a part of your corporate event is quite manageable in your usual communal workplace setting. However, having a separate room/space can be beneficial to create a private, relaxing ambience.

Do you use any massage oil?

No, therapists you book via the platform do not use any oil for corporate event massages, as they are performed fully clothed. This makes it very practical for the work place or event you’re based in.

Are therapists vetted and insured?

All therapists on the Blys platform are carefully vetted and must complete a comprehensive onboarding process before joining the platform. We require providers to have relevant experience for the services they offer, valid insurance and police checks as well while they sign up. We also have an internal rating system for our providers, which helps you decide which therapists to book for your event.

What hygiene procedures do therapists maintain?

The massage chair your therapist uses for your office massage session is always wiped down with antibacterial between every client, and they are required to use a disposable paper cover/lining every time.

How many people should I book for?

Booking for an office event can be quite challenging, however, as a general rule, the uptake of massage is around 70%. So, if you have an office of around 50 people, you should expect around 35 attendees. If you consider 15 minutes of seated massage for each of the 35 team members, this would be around 9 hours in total. This is just a tentative guide, and it is a good idea to ask around the workplace in advance to gauge the interest.

Do I need to provide anything for the massage therapist?

No, you don’t need to provide anything for the massage therapist, beauty therapist or wellness providers. They will arrive with ergonomic massage chairs (or any other massage equipment, depending on the service you’ve chosen), disposables, music, and everything required to create a relaxing massage station. You just need to have sufficient space of either 3ft x 5ft for chair massage or 6.5ft x 6.5ft for table massage.

What if I want to extend on the day?

You can definitely extend on the day itself, provided your therapist is available. However, you will need to get in touch with our team for more details.

What is a contraindication?

A contraindication is an injury or medical condition that may require therapists to modify, and in very rare cases refrain from doing massage. For example. if you or any of your team members has a strained wrist, your therapist could still massage the neck and shoulders, but just avoid the injured area. But if they have had a recent surgery, there will be an absolute contraindication, refraining the therapist from working on them. Generally the therapist can modify the sequence to make it safe and enjoyable.

How long is turnaround between massages?

When greeting the client, your therapist will ask for areas to focus on, any injuries/contraindications, pressure, and instruct them how to sit on the chair if it’s a chair/seated massage or the table if you’ve opted for a table massage. This generally takes about 1 or 2 minutes. At the end of the massage, the therapist will make sure the client gets off safely, and sanitizes the chair takes around another minute or two.
