Conference &
Expo Home
In the 2001 movie Ocean’s Eleven, George Clooney
may have referred to Las Vegas as “America’s playground” but there is no place more fun than
Kissimmee, Florida! Home to this year’s ISPA
Conference & Expo, the Gaylord Palms Resort &
Convention Center in Kissimmee puts you right in
the middle of all the fun and excitement Florida has
to offer.
A US$50-million renovation at the Gaylord Palms was completed just in time for ISPA! Be sure to book your ISPA room
today at ispa2012.com to secure one of Gaylord Palm’s new
contemporary guest rooms and enjoy the upgraded amenities

ISPA events, like the Expo, General Sessions, Relaxation Area

Palms’ renovations include the everglades-inspired Cypress
Springs Family Fun Water Park which has a multi-level water
playground, zero entry beach design, waterslides, a water basketball play area and a Splash N' Screen movie featuring family
films throughout the day. Parents will particularly enjoy the inroom child care services offered by Kids Nite Out at the
