thE isPa coNfErENcE & ExPo is a rEuNioN 2.0 ! It ’ s crazy to think I have never been to a high school reunion — moving to another state my senior year created a bit of a void there . I did attend one with my cute husband a few years ago that was interesting to observe .
This past weekend we held a HOST Employee Alumni Reunion , which reconnected everyone from the company that first introduced me to the ISPA family nearly 25 years ago . It was so fun to organize , but good grief , it took a lot of energy and people to bring it to life . That balance — between fun and hard work — really got me thinking of how the ISPA Conference & Expo is kind of like a reunion elevated to
“ With a fun another level .
It ’ s a chance to catch up with old friends and new venue to make new ones , but it ’ s also the product of the celebrate , we hard work of our entire ISPA community . The are confident atmosphere of camaraderie at Conference and beyond would simply not be possible without it will be a our generous sponsors , exhibitors , board reunion to members and volunteers investing their time and remember .” resources into our community .
We are especially grateful for all our volunteer leaders . The ISPA Volunteer Committee welcomes new attendees and facilitates the First-time Attendee Orientation . The Exhibitor Task Force works hard to ensure the Expo stays fresh and relevant . The Speaker Task Force members are rock stars , and their tireless pursuit to find the best speakers and topics is inspiring . They never fail to bring together a full lineup of remarkable speakers for our Education Sessions , keeping each Conference fresh and vibrant with something to offer everyone in attendance .
I can ’ t wait to see our ISPA family in Phoenix — with a fun new venue to celebrate , we are confident it will be a reunion to remember . Are you ready to get your connection on ?
