thE isPa coNfErENcE & ExPo is a rEuNioN 2.0! It’ s crazy to think I have never been to a high school reunion— moving to another state my senior year created a bit of a void there. I did attend one with my cute husband a few years ago that was interesting to observe.
This past weekend we held a HOST Employee Alumni Reunion, which reconnected everyone from the company that first introduced me to the ISPA family nearly 25 years ago. It was so fun to organize, but good grief, it took a lot of energy and people to bring it to life. That balance— between fun and hard work— really got me thinking of how the ISPA Conference & Expo is kind of like a reunion elevated to
“ With a fun another level.
It’ s a chance to catch up with old friends and new venue to make new ones, but it’ s also the product of the celebrate, we hard work of our entire ISPA community. The are confident atmosphere of camaraderie at Conference and beyond would simply not be possible without it will be a our generous sponsors, exhibitors, board reunion to members and volunteers investing their time and remember.” resources into our community.
We are especially grateful for all our volunteer leaders. The ISPA Volunteer Committee welcomes new attendees and facilitates the First-time Attendee Orientation. The Exhibitor Task Force works hard to ensure the Expo stays fresh and relevant. The Speaker Task Force members are rock stars, and their tireless pursuit to find the best speakers and topics is inspiring. They never fail to bring together a full lineup of remarkable speakers for our Education Sessions, keeping each Conference fresh and vibrant with something to offer everyone in attendance.
I can’ t wait to see our ISPA family in Phoenix— with a fun new venue to celebrate, we are confident it will be a reunion to remember. Are you ready to get your connection on?
