FROM YOUR CHAIRMAN
ISPA BOARD OF DIRECTORS
WELCOME TO PHOENIX , ISPA Family ! It is going to be a great week as we reconnect with our good friends from the industry and make new friends with the many new people who have brought a welcomed renewing energy to Conference over the past three years .
As you make your way through the next few days , make sure that you carve out time for our three keynote speakers : Ryan Leak , Suneel Gupta and Justin Wren . They will help us start off each day with key insights on business , and more importantly , life . l
l
l
How there are benefits to failure and how it ’ s time to start leveling up at work and at home . How we can find real meaning in our work — and how , as leaders , we can reset and reignite our businesses and our teams . How we can overcome the private battles we all struggle with and lead lives with deeper purpose and meaning . Each education session has been crafted with the vast diversity of our membership ’ s needs in mind , so attend as many as you can ! When you participate , it makes us all better leaders in our industry . There is a real benefit to powerful minds coming together .
And finally , spend time on the Expo floor with our resource partners . They are the engines of our businesses who keep our retail shelves and professional backbars full , our spas and fitness centers designed beautifully and filled with all the necessary equipment and supplies , and they keep us on the cutting edge of wellness , trends and technology .
I ’ m excited to see you all , take a few selfies and get inspired for what will surely be a stellar # ISPA2024 !
