Prepare to be wowed by ISPA’s beautiful new host city, Phoenix, this September. Attendees will embrace gorgeous weather, a modern environmentally-conscious Phoenix Convention Center, tons of local restaurants, cultural arts activities and must visit pre- and post-event renowned spas.
Nurturing, engaging and building a strong spa industry workforce will be the core focus of the 2018 ISPA Conference & Expo keynote lineup. No frills, no fluff, simply inspiring experts who will captivate your attention, energize you and your businesses. With Shawn Achor, Sally Hogshead and Daymond John, ISPA has three uniquely different keynotes who will teach attendees how to tap into your teams’ strengths to communicate more effectively, achieve your ultimate happiness potential and most importantly, connect deeply to the work you love. There will be no shortage of inspiration or takeaways that will help you thrive in the future.
And most excitedly, to end the week, attendees will be treated to a VIP farewell celebration at Chase Field on Wednesday during the Arizona Diamondbacks versus Los Angeles Dodgers night game. ISPA’s private party space will encompass two levels of the venue including executive suites, networking terrace areas, a five-star restaurant and plenty of seats for those who’d like to enjoy the game. Whether you are a sports fan, social butterfly or simply love a unique memorable experience, it will be a one-of-a-kind VIP event to remember with lots of surprises in store.
