Where do you begin to choose your best moment at this year’s ISPA
Conference & Expo? With so many to choose from—seeing old friends,
meeting new peers, discovering new trends, learning life-changing
insights—it’s nearly impossible to narrow them down.
But while this “Best Moments” feature captures only a slice of all the
memories made, conversations sparked and laughters shared, it ultimately
aims to celebrate all the best at Conference. Flip through this special postConference scrapbook and relive the fun or, for those who weren’t there, be
part of this year’s Conference!

Learning from the Experts “Very interesting topic that will be
used for my own personal and professional growth!” said one attendee on Mary
Byers’ Professional Development Session (PDS) titled “Tough Talking: Initiating and
Managing Discussions When the Stakes are High.”
Each year, education continues to be the event’s biggest draw for ISPA
Conference’s growing number of attendees. This year alone, nearly 2,300 have
attended the Professional Development Sessions.
