New York Times' best-selling author Daniel Pink has been announced as the second day keynote speaker for the 2017 ISPA Conference & Expo in Las Vegas from 16-18 October 2017.

Named by Thinkers 50 – the premiere ranking of the top global business, management, strategy and leadership thinkers whose ideas have the potential to change the world – as one of the top 10 business thinkers in the world in 2015, Pink is also the author of five books and is a former contributing editor at Fast Company and Wired, as well as a business columnist for The Sunday Telegraph.

Before venturing out on his own nearly 20 years ago, Pink worked in several positions in politics and government, including serving from 1995 to 1997 as chief speechwriter to vice president Al Gore.

“We are honoured to have Daniel Pink present as a keynote speaker at the ISPA Conference & Expo,” said ISPA president Lynne McNees. “His insights into human behaviour and motivating others are sure to spark exceptional ways to inspire spa professionals and future leaders across the globe.”

The closing General Session line-up along with an extensive list of Professional Development Session speakers are yet to be announced. More information about the 2017 ISPA Conference & Expo can be found at attendISPA.com.
