The International Massage Association has decided that the 2024 World Championship in Massage also will be held as a Hybrid edition as the years before. 

What does Hybrid edition mean?

The Championship will be split into two simultaneous parts. One physically in Denmark and One online live.

  1. The physically part is like former years/Championships.
  2. The online part where the participants will be going live (on Zoom) with their massage treatments from a place of their own choice. There will be judges live watching and judging these treatments on same terms as the physical part. When participating online, there will only be one round. (The participant will only show his/her work in one category)

Medio May 2024, all registered participants will receive a mail with a link for them to choose whether to participate the online or the physical version. All participants can use this Participants logo.
