The International SPA Association (ISPA) will hold its inaugural ISPA Talent Symposium on 15 April at The Ritz-Carlton, Bacara in Santa Barbara, CA. This event will be a first of its kind for the spa industry and will focus solely on workforce issues.

Engaging your team is key to attracting and retaining employees in today’s competitive labour market. The ISPA Talent Symposium will equip attendees with energetic and innovative approaches to solving these pertinent workforce challenges. Established spa industry and workforce development professionals will join featured speakers to help unlock the secrets to fostering an engaged workforce and developing a talent strategy.

Seth Mattison is the first announced keynote speaker for the event. As the founder and CEO of Luminate Labs, a digital media platform, production company and global community for luminaries, leaders, influencers and subject-matter experts representing the most forward-thinking organizations in the world, Mattison advises leaders on key shifts happening around talent management, leadership and the future of work. His goal is “to help facilitate a shift in consciousness around what work and leadership will mean in the 21st Century and the role individuals can play in intentionally leading organisations and legacies that bring deep value to the world.”
