Monday morning begins at 8 a.m. with an hour of time with the vendors, followed by more speakers. At noon, lunch, vendor time and workshops will be offered to increase the knowledge and skills of the pedicurists. “The number of pedicurists is increasing every year, and we want to support their safe skills. We also believe that education directly increases their income and we’re all for that!” says Janet McCormick, co-founder of Nailcare Academy.

“Our speakers will be experts in their fields” says Katharin von Gavel, founder of North American School of Podology. “Each will speak for an hour plus question-and-answer time.” The list of vendors, speakers and topics will be available on the website, www.causeforfeet.com soon.
