THE SIGHTS: While ISPA staff THE SOUNDBITES: and volunteers worked behind the scene to piece together last-minute Conference details, attendees start their day early at the registration area. The Expo floor, brimming with products and visitors, had a total of 200 booths. And yes, Monday’s General Session took attendees on a life-changing “road trip” with guest speaker Eric Saperston and musician Edwin McCain. General Session attendees couldn’t get enough of the formidable duo of Saperston and McCain. While Saperston entertained with his captivating stories, McCain serenaded the audience with his acoustic guitar. A day after the event in a ladies’ room, one attendee still couldn’t stop talking about the experience, saying: “What a powerful moment that was!” A SPECIAL THANK YOU to the ISPA exhibitors who experienced shipping issues this year. They turned an Oh No! into an Oh Yeah! Thanks to the unwavering support of the spa community. Fellow attendees and exhibitors were gracious enough to lend a helping hand and make the 2010 ISPA Expo a great experience for everyone.
