Imagine attending a conference where you could have access to leading edge creative arts therapists practicing across the globe, without having to leave the comfort of your own home!
Welcome to the 1st annual International Creative Arts Therapies Teleconference
Hosted by Laura Dessauer, the founder of The Creativity Queen LLC and Business Success for Therapists.
Welcome Fellow Creative Arts Enthusiasts,
Are you a therapist, healer, or expressive arts practitioner who loves learning the latest information on trends and research in the creative arts therapies? Maybe you are looking for more tools to introduce into your practice to support your client’s growth? Perhaps your curious about other modalities such as music, art, dance, and expressive arts and want to integrate these into your work but you just haven’t had the time to learn more?
However, the daunting cost of attending a conference, taking time off from your work, and leaving your family just doesn’t fit into your schedule or your budget this year.
We made it simple and affordable to access luminaries in the creative arts field without having to pay premium conference fees to access the latest information on the creative arts therapies from across the globe!
A teleconference gives you access to live conference presentations by simply calling in over the phone to a conference number or listening to the live broadcast on the web. It’s easy to access, allows us to bring speakers in from across the globe for this event, and makes it easy for you to attend no matter what country you’re from.
Here are some of the reasons why you’ll want to register for this groundbreaking International Creative Arts Therapies Teleconference Aug-23-27:
You’ll get access to some of the most prominent therapists and facilitators in the creative arts field, as well as innovative up and coming practitioner from across the world. These are individuals from multi-disciplines, who bring their unique gifts to this teleconference.
You’ll have the opportunity to learn from different modalities. I know it’s always exciting and reenergizing when you learn new information that you can bring back to the therapeutic work you do with your clients, It not only invigorates your work, but it also enhances your client’s work as well.
You’ll have access to the latest cutting edge topics. Rather than relying on outdated textbooks, you’ll have access to the leading trends and practices in the creative arts therapies field. These are from practicing thought leaders who are implementing the tools and techniques they are sharing with you.
You don’t have to worry about picking which presentation you’d like to attend. Unlike in person conferences where concurrent presentations are being held, (and you’re running from one part of the conference center to the other), at a virtual teleconference you’ll have access to one speaker at a time, so you wont miss a single minute!
You can affordably attend from anywhere in the world and you don’t have to worry about the travel costs! I know there are international therapists and practitioners who want access to the latest information on the creative arts therapies, yet it’s nearly impossible to travel to the international events without accruing enormous expenses. Even for those who live in the US, often travel fees, plus conference fees (and time off) may be prohibitive. Also, you won’t have to use your vacation time or take time off from your practice to attend!
You’ll have access to the information from all the presenters and you can listen to it again and again. At traditional conferences there is so much information. You may walk away with conference notes and handouts, but when you go back to work you may want to refer back to what a presenter shared, but you can no longer access that information. The beauty of a teleconference is that all presentations are recorded, so you can go back and listen to the recording at any time and access invaluable information again and again.
PLUS, this teleconference offers a unique gathering of like-minded creative souls who celebrate the power of the creative arts. You’ll be among your tribe, connecting with those who see the value and importance in creative expression and that alone is worth every penny!
Join our esteemed presenters as you learn new techniques, expand your clinical skills, explore innovative creative arts modalities and re-energize yourself, and your work!
Monday August 23:
11:00 -12:00pm EST

The top 5 mistakes therapists make in building their private practice, what they are and how you can avoid them to create a successful therapy practice.

Register and you’ll receive an email welcoming you to the conference with all the information on how to access each presenter’s call. You can call into the teleconference or you can listen to the teleconference LIVE on the web. Don’t worry, we’ll send you the details on how to do this- it’s very simple!
What about hand-outs?
Yes, when you go to an in-person conference you have access to all of those hand-outs each speaker shares, so we made sure you have the same benefits too. Some of our speakers are offering hand-outs and when you register you can easily access the hand-outs by going to the speakers’ webpage.
Will you be offering CEU’s?
For this first annual event we have decided to keep the costs low and make the event affordable for all, so we will not be offering CEU’s
What about the conference “Goodie Bag”?
We love going to conferences and getting a goodie bag filled with bonuses, so we decided to offer you an exclusive virtual goodie bag. You have access to extra bonuses our speakers so generously agreed to pass on to you. Plus you’ll receive a complimentary subscription to the bi-monthly Business Success ezine filled with practical strategies to help your grow your therapy business.
Can I get a refund?
We are offering this teleconference at an extraordinarily affordable rate and will not be offering a refund. Based upon the feedback and success of the Therapist Resource Telesummit we hosted in March, attendees felt they received exceptional value for their purchase and we are certain you will feel the same. Because we strive to be of service, should you feel the teleconference did not deliver what was described, we will credit you your conference fee and you may apply it towards one of our other programs.
But I only want to hear 1-2 speakers.
Even if you only want to hear 1-2 people present the affordable investment is well worth it. Think about the fees involved in traveling to see just one presenter, and you’ll see just how extraordinarily affordable your registration is.
What about networking and meeting new friends?
That’s one of the most enjoyable parts of attending a conference! When you are among your tribe you feel empowered, excited, and accepted. These are the people who understand you, “get” what it is you do and value creativity and self-expression. We are blessed with such a rich and diverse tapestry of creative arts therapists and it’s thrilling to be among these remarkable colleagues. So of course we need a forum to gather, connect, share, express, play, and create! Those who register for the VIP Conference Attendee will receive instant access to the “CREATIVITY STUDIO”, a forum where you can connect with other creative arts therapists around the world, share your thoughts, upload your art, and celebrate your creative spirit!
What if I can’t make it to a presentation I really want to hear?
No worries, all of the presentations will be recorded and the recording will be made available to you after the conference. Depending upon your registration, we’ll send you an email with all the presenters MP3 recordings after the conference is complete, and for those with VIP access you’ll receive CD’s of all the presentations as well.
I noticed you are offering a year membership to the International Association of Therapists in Private Practice (IATPP) for the VIP attendees, what if I’m not in private practice?
If you are considering private practice in the future this charter membership to the iatpp.org will provide you tools, templates, and information on how to successfully build your practice all for FREE for 1-year (valued at $497 per year).

Sure I had fun and learned a bunch AND I could have used that money in countless other ways.
