ISPA NEWS ISPA SILENT AUCTION GETS A MAKEOVER O ver the years, the ISPA Silent Auction has seen countless items sold and thousands of dollars raised to benefit the ISPA Foundation. This year, we’ll be using a new platform, Handbid, to streamline the bidding process while also making it more convenient than ever. With this new platform, you’ll be able to bid from anywhere and track items you’re bidding on with real-time updates. What’s more, you’ll be able to set max bid amounts for a more convenient and automatic bidding experience and as soon as the Silent Auction closes, you’ll know what items you’ve won. All of this comes with the added benefit of being more environmentally friendly by helping us eliminate the use of paper bid sheets in the Silent Auction area. To start bidding, download the Handbid app to create your account and register for the 2020 ISPA Foundation Live & Silent Auctions. ISPA Talent Symposium Canceled DUE TO THE GLOBAL COVID-19 OUTBREAK, ISPA has made the decision to cancel this month’s ISPA Talent Symposium and Resource Partner Summit in Santa Barbara, California. As passionate supporters of the hospitality and travel industries, this was an extremely difficult decision to make—but the health and safety of our members is our highest priority. The 2020 ISPA Conference & Expo will still be held this October 14-16 at Gaylord National Harbor; we look forward to seeing many of our members there! ISPA is developing a plan to deliver the Talent Symposium’s key messages and resources at the annual Conference this fall.
