ISPA EVENTS

ISPA members have communicated consistently that the top two reasons for joining the association is for networking and education. With this in mind, ISPA focuses each year on creating events that offer the opportunity to do just that - allow spa professionals to network and gain education from experts inside and outside of the spa industry.

"The number one ISPA benefit for me is the network of friends and business contacts
I have been able to make at ISPA events."
-Debi Barnes, Turtle Cove Spa

ISPA Conference & Expo

The ISPA Conference & Expo is the largest ISPA event of the year for spa professionals. With more than a 20-year history, the expectation of Conference attendees is to provide spa owners, directors, managers and suppliers with cutting edge tips on where the industry is headed and how to ensure that business is sustainable. In addition, the ISPA Expo brings together the leading suppliers in the industry to network with spa decision makers. ISPA hopes to see you Oct. 15 - 17 for the 2012 ISPA Conference & Expo at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center, Kissimmee, Fla., USA. Check out what happened at the 2011 Conference & Expo.
