The Canadian Nail Tech Connection (CNTC) is an annual networking day in London, Ontario, Canada. The event this year was held on Sunday, November 9, (next year it will be held on Sunday, November 8). Dayna Knight is the nail technician in charge of the event and she runs things well! Educators are welcome to come in and offer classes on their own the day before or after the event. There are a couple of motivational speakers to begin the day, and then the attendees can visit various booths for demos and questions. Goody bags are given out, and raffles are drawn every half hour. The event is small and intimate, giving the attendees a chance to really visit with the educators and enjoy a bit of one-on-one time. Right now the CNTC has only a closed group on Facebook; keep an eye out for a public event page coming soon!
Millie Haynam of Nail Talk Radio was one of the speakers.
