When expert hypnotherapist Melissa Roth and I first started talking about online hypnosis education last year, we had no idea if it work even work.

Would hypnosis professionals be interested in an online hypnosis convention? Would Melissa be able to attract top speakers and educators in hypnosis, NLP, EFT, marketing, and business skills? Would I be able to find (or build) a totally virtual "convention center"? Would we be able to get the word out about this first-time event? What would the hypnosis organizations think? Would they support our efforts?

I am very happy to say that HypnoSummit 1.0 (which we called the Global Hypnosis eSummit) was a huge success. We had over 50 experts line up to speak. Melissa signed up experts in hypnosis for pain control, weight loss, phobias, addiction recovery, sports performance, PTSD, body contouring, "youthing," health improvement and so much more. We were even honored to host New York Times bestselling author Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of Love, Medicine and Miracles.

And after a lot of very long days (and sleepless nights) working with out tech team, I was able to build a virtual convention center where hypnosis pros from 18 countries came together to learn and interact. And we were excited that several of the top hypnosis and hypnotherapy organizations recognized the quality of the Global Hypnosis eSummit and offered their members continuing education credits for attending.

HypnoSummit 1.0 was far more successful than Melissa and I had ever hoped for, and we had hundreds of virtual attendees from 18 countries. It truly was a global event.

Now HypnoSummit 2.0 is coming together. We have some even BIGGER names lined up to teach hypnosis, EFT, NLP, marketing, and more, all aimed at bringing greater professionalism and success to hypnotists worldwide. Our "virtual convention center" has been remodeled with a new look, and even better, new technology that makes it easier to use. We have a marketing and PR pro on board to help spread the word.

What we don't have yet is you. I hope you'll join us at HypnoSummit 2.0. Registration will open in about a week at HypnoSummit.com. And if you register before September 1st, you'll get a big early bird discount.
