What You'll Experience
A networking evening built around live procedural demonstrations on a model — the artistry behind facial balancing, contouring, and combination therapies, performed in front of the room by industry-leading injectors.
Live Procedural Demonstrations
Watch master injectors perform lips, cheeks, jawline contouring, biostimulator placement, and regenerative combination therapies live on a model.
Industry Briefing
Empire leadership opens the evening with a state-of-the-industry address — what 2027 looks like for aesthetic practice owners.
Cocktails & Hors d’oeuvres
Signature cocktails and curated hors d'oeuvres served throughout the evening. No seated dinner — conversations stay fluid.
Open Networking
The room of aesthetic practitioners, practice owners, and industry voices most likely to change what you do next year — in one room, all night.
Evening Schedule
A deliberately unhurried arc — cocktails throughout, three live procedural demonstrations from master injectors, and the open networking that makes the room valuable.
Arrival & Cocktail Reception
Signature cocktails and curated hors d’oeuvres at the Hyatt Centric Wall Street. Open mingling begins.
Welcome & Industry Address
Empire Medical Training leadership opens the evening — a brief state-of-the-industry briefing on what 2027 holds for aesthetic practice owners.
Live Demonstration I — Lip Enhancement & Facial Balancing
A master injector demonstrates lip placement and mid-face balancing live on a model. Anatomy-driven technique, layering, and the artistry behind natural-looking restoration.
Live Demonstration II — Cheek & Jawline Contouring
Filler, toxin, and biostimulators combined on a model to define cheeks and the jawline. Sculpting the lower face with combination therapies attendees can take straight back to their practices.
Live Demonstration III — Biostimulators & Regenerative Combination Therapies
Sculptra, Radiesse, PDO threads, exosomes, and PDRN polynucleotides — layered protocols for collagen induction and structural restoration, demonstrated live on a model.
Q&A With Demonstrators
Open Q&A with Dr. Makar and Maritza Mejia — technique, decision-making, complication management, and the questions that only get asked in a room of peers.
Open Networking & Cocktails
The evening’s defining beat — the room opens, conversations expand, and the relationships that change practices are made.
Close
Concierge cars on standby. The Hyatt Centric Wall Street closes for the evening.
Topics Covered
Conversations and content threaded across the evening, drawn from the questions practice owners are actively wrestling with:
- Regenerative Aesthetics — exosomes, PDRN, biostimulators, and what's next beyond the current generation of injectables.
- Pricing & Profitability — protecting margin without losing the patient relationship.
- Building a Defensible Practice — what insulates an aesthetic practice from competition, market shifts, and burnout.
- The Patient Experience Stack — how the highest-grossing practices design intake, consultation, and follow-up.
- Staffing the Modern Med Spa — hiring, retaining, and training the team behind a top-tier practice.
- Marketing That Compounds — what's working in 2027 for patient acquisition and brand-building.
