Wellness, Connection and Giving Back
The 2025 ISPA Conference made sure attendees had plenty of opportunities to embrace holistic well-being. Early risers gathered for the morning yoga meetup, a peaceful way to start each day with movement and mindfulness. In the evenings( and pre- and post-Conference), wellness-conscious Colorado Springs offered attendees endless options for out-of-doors physical activity.
Throughout the week, the ISPA Conference App served as an essential resource, presenting a centralized hub for attendees’ networking, maps, session details and daily schedules— all complemented by a morning Daily Pulse email newsletter to keep everyone informed and on track.
The Conference also provided a platform for giving back, as the ISPA Foundation Auction raised funds for industry data and education initiatives( see page 58). Thanks to the generosity of donors and bidders alike, this event continues to support the future of spa research and innovation.
