Be a Part of the 2025 Foundation Auction
Show off your brand and invest in the spa industry by donating an item or experience . Every year , you catch a few mentions of the ISPA Foundation Auction . But do you know what it is and why it matters ? The annual auction is : l
An exclusive opportunity to browse and bid on unique items , coinciding with the annual ISPA Conference . l A silent auction with hundreds of goods ,
l services and experiences — each available to the highest online bidder . The ISPA Foundation ’ s most important annual fundraiser , with proceeds directly funding spa industry research and education .
It ’ s all online !
In previous years , the ISPA Foundation Auction has been split into two components : a silent auction held online and a live auction on the Expo floor . In 2025 , though , the auction action will be entirely online via the Handbid app .
Because of other events at The Broadmoor scheduled to celebrate ISPA ’ s 35th anniversary , along with an Expo floor filled to capacity with exhibitors , the live auction is on hiatus in 2025 .
It starts now
Hundreds of must-have items will open for bidding in a couple of months . But if you want to be part of the action , you don ’ t need to wait until we all meet at The Broadmoor in March 2025 . Invest in spa research ( and showcase your brand ’ s unique offerings ) by donating a product , service or experience to the ISPA Foundation Auctions . Ask for more information by emailing ispa @ ispastaff . com today . n
