2026 ISPA CONFERENCE RECAP

EACH YEAR AT THE ISPA CONFERENCE, the association’ s awards program shines a spotlight on the individuals and organizations elevating the spa industry in meaningful and inspiring ways. From breakthrough products and forwardthinking services to immersive, thoughtfully designed exhibit experiences, these honorees represent the best of what our community has to offer.

ISPA Innovate Awards celebrate the spirit of progress— recognizing those who push boundaries, reimagine possibilities and bring fresh ideas to life in ways that enhance both guest experiences and business performance. Meanwhile, the ISPA Conference Expo Awards honor the artistry and in- tention behind the show floor, where exhibitors transform booths into engaging environments that capture attention, tell stories and spark connection.

At the heart of it all are the association’ s most distinguished honors: the ISPA Dedicated Contributor Award, the ISPA Alex Szekely Humanitarian Award and the ISPA Visionary Award. These recognitions pay tribute to the passionate professionals who give generously of their time, knowledge and leadership— strengthening our community and making a lasting impact on the world around us.

Together, these awards reflect a shared commitment to innovation, excellence and purpose across the spa industry.
