Innovation rarely happens in a straight line.
In fact, in most cases, innovation means connecting the many dots that spark the need for
creative thinking – from an untapped market to a big problem and, eventually, toward one brilliant idea.
In the spa world, there are many forward-thinking ideas worthy of recognition. through the ISPA
Innovate Award, now in its second year, we celebrate groundbreaking innovations in five categories:
Experiences, leadership & Philanthropy, treatments, technology & Equipment and Products.
out of nearly 80 applications, ISPA members cast their vote to help narrow down the top three winners for
each category. All winners will be recognized during Wednesday’s general Session on September 26 at this
year’s ISPA conference & Expo. In addition, one “ISPA Innovation of the Year Award” winner will be recognized
on stage for leading the way in pushing the spa industry toward the future.
So who are among this year’s ISPA Innovate Award winners? Pulse turns the spotlight on this year’s
