Stephen Johnson introduces us to the 2020 virtual Float Conference.

Gloria Morris kicks off our virtual Float Conference preview event by sharing her story as a multi-float center owner. In this talk, Gloria describes the four year ride she's been on with building the Float Sixty brand and managing the chaos that ensues when things don't go as planned.

Since the first identification of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and the illness it causes, COVID-19, we have been inundated with news and information that is both terrifying and overwhelming. Fear and anxiety have become daily struggles for most of us. What mental and physiological effects has this anxiety caused, and why is floating uniquely positioned to provide relieve in these turbulent times? Join Flux on a journey through the physiological effects of anxiety and the hope Floatation-REST provides.

Have you ever wondered why some people never get over certain events while others who have experienced the same events carry on unaffected? Have you ever felt like you do not fit in anywhere? When what you really want it to belong? From Gamma to delta, delta to theta, Vivian McKinnon shares a journey of connection to your true and authentic self.

COVID-19 has forced many small business owners to completely rethink the way they work while simultaneously creating uncertainty about the future and our economy. With all of the dire headlines about businesses shuttering for good and massive unemployment, how can leaders stay focused on helping their companies survive without succumbing to the stress and pressure of the moment? How can they keep their teams and employees motivated and their customers feeling supported when no one knows what the future holds? In this talk, Dan Price, the founder and CEO of Gravity Payments, discusses how his company has so far managed to survive this crisis without laying off a single employee or raising prices to customers. He' discuss how to make your employees part of the conversation, how to keep customers informed, and how to run a sustainable company while remaining true to your values.

Human physiology is affected by extreme conditions and effective recovery methods are an important part of strategies to prevent decreasing performance. New publications about interactions between cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, and immune systems, thermoregulation, and general metabolism show us the way to influence on as many systems as possible at one time. Regular intense physical exercise can help us influence our systems to take a positive shift for our physiology. Immersion in water, and even more so in salty float water, is the counterbalance to intense exercises. Understanding of recovery effects of flotation on the human physiology helps us to achieve the different levels of the human performance in normal and extreme conditions.

Professor Duan talks about the current research and challenges, e.g. the research about the effectiveness of floatation therapy applied to autistic children.

Based on the excellent presentation of "Floating and the Immune System" in Float Conference US 2018, Vladimir highlights the benefits of floatation for empowering health and immune system using the lenses of Integral Medicine and such holistic systems as Osteopathy or Biodynamics to counter anxiety around COVID-pandemia.

In this presentation Michael will look at why we see colours, shapes and patterns during a float session and why a small number of us may have hallucinations during our time in a reduced sensory environment.
