ABOUT THE COVER
LIKE A WINDING PATH THROUGH THE FOREST, spa leaders are invited to Discover— to step forward with curiosity and confidence into new terrain. As new perspectives emerge, unexpected opportunities appear and bold ideas take root. Our community thrives when diverse voices, fresh thinking and emerging technologies unite in shared purpose. As we anticipate gathering in Las Vegas, this 2026 ISPA Conference issue explores the future of spa— where innovation and tradition meet, and where leadership, learning and artificial intelligence are shaping what comes next for our industry.
