souNd off do you EvEr WoNdEr how your THIS MONTH’S QUESTION: peers would handle a situation? maybe you’re curious what other leaders in the spa industry have to say on a certain subject.

Hearing from the various experts always inspires me to utilize the topic in a way that would benefit my spa operations or my spa team. Each speaker brings a fresh, or different, perspective. I encourage everyone to attend these sessions because you never know what will inspire you. The Expo floor and the opportunity to network with vendors and try new products. I also love the Experience Center where you can receive the services that highlight the lines we could potentially be working with. I look forward to connecting with vendors and spa friends alike. Hearing success stories and sharing tribulations of our spa world makes me feel like I am part of a movement. I love it! I look forward to every aspect of the ISPA Conference and every year is better than before! I have to say what I look forward to the most, and what has the most lasting impact in my day-to- day life once I return from the Conference, is the amazing keynote presentations. Every keynote I’ve seen at ISPA has been inspiring and memorable and I honestly couldn’t pick a favorite. I look forward to the First Timer’s Orientation to ISPA! I have never been and our resort is a new member of ISPA. As our resort grows I am excited to see what tools I can bring back to help increase revenue, motivate staff and stay current within the industry! n kEEP aN EyE oN your iNbox for the next ISPA Snapshot Survey, where you can answer upcoming Sound off questions for the chance to be featured here.
