Join CCA for a day of fun and rejuvenation before the conference begins. Four different sections – Renew, Reconnect, Recharge, and Rev-Up – will provide attendees with a variety of self-care and fitness activities to enjoy throughout the afternoon. Come as you are or don your favorite exercise attire if you’re ready to go “all in”!

Reconnect

Meet up with old friends and make new industry contacts in the Reconnect lounge. Try a smoothie, enjoy a cup of tea, or visit the healthy snack station, which are all part of this relaxed and engaging networking area.

Rev-Up

Ready to get your heartrate up and engage in some friendly competition? If the answer is “YES!,” then the Rev-Up area is the place for you. Fun fitness challenges include:

Longest plank
Most push-ups in a minute
Most sit-ups in a minute
Longest wall-sit

Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female finishers in each category!

Renew

CCA is pleased to partner with Kelly Berry, a functional movement therapist and healthcare strategist, to guide attendees through six unique 20-minute sessions in the Renew area. From stress-relieving breathwork to gentle stretching and tension-relieving techniques, Kelly will provide a range of movements and focuses for all fitness levels to enjoy. Self-care is the best care; step into the Renew space and make yourself a priority.

Details for each session are below!

Recharge

Treat yourself to an 8-minute mini massage from one of our three certified massage therapists. Enjoy the aromatherapy option to fully immerse yourself into a state of relaxation. Each massage chair will be fully sanitized between each session. Sign-up for a specific time or walk-up if you see an open chair. Limit to one massage per attendee.
