THE SECOND ANNUAL ISPA Conference Expo Awards were a celebration of sponsors and exhibitors whose presence in the Expo marked the pinnacle of resource partners ’ creativity and dedication within the spa industry .

With more than 200 booths and 48 sponsors reviewed for consideration , competition was fierce . Judges , shrouded in anonymity , traversed the Expo floor on the first two days of the 2024 ISPA Conference , evaluating each exhibitor in several categories .

For spa professionals attending the event , the Expo Awards are more than a beauty contest : They represent forging meaningful affiliations with resource partners who are not just suppliers ; they are the backbone of the industry . As always , ISPA ’ s leaders and members also are grateful for the support of the many Conference sponsors who make the event possible . During this year ’ s evaluations , exhibitors ’ and sponsors ’ dedication to enhancing the spa experience resonated with judges and all attendees .

As the winners were announced during the final Power Session , applause filled the air . For those in attendance , it

was a testament to the importance of collaboration and innovation . The message was clear : Success in the spa industry isn ’ t achieved alone .

Four new winners emerged in 2024 : Acrely Farms , Aescape , Dazzle Dry and LEMI Group . Eminence , which was honored in the inaugural Expo Awards , repeated as best sponsor experience ( in a tie with LEMI Group ).

LET ’ S DO IT AGAIN ! The ISPA Conference Expo Awards will return in 2025 , when the event will be held at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs , Colorado . Resource partners wishing to compete for Expo honors are advised to start thinking ahead for innovations in booth layout and design .
