The June West Coast ISPA Media Event in Beverly Hills was the first one in which Meadowood Napa Valley has ever participated – and we were so excited!  Since we opened our brand new Meadowood Spa in November of 2015, we targeted this West Coast event as one we knew would be a great way for us to generate awareness in the health and wellness community in a very key market, not to mention the opportunity to meet influential members of the media whose beat(s) focus on spa, health and wellness.

ISPA puts on a very professional Media Event and that is the reason why The Oaks continues to participate.  We have found that the press coming are engaged and produce.  We had over 14 mentions and two larger articles in the first two weeks following the event.

 

Just in time for summer, the ISPA Reveal Box is here with all your warm weather essentials. Please take a few minutes to check out the items included in this month's Reveal Box.

 

Which means we’re just a few short days away from celebrating Global Wellness Day! Hopefully everyone has already made great plans to participate in this international day of wellness, but if not, have no fear—there’s still time to get involved!

A few things happened at the ISPA Conference in October 2015 that got me thinking about a corporation’s responsibility to give back. The first thing was Scott Harrison’s (CEO, charity: water) moving presentation at the General Session. A shockingly up close look at what men, women and children are dealing with on an everyday basis across the globe. It is hard to watch a presentation like that and not be compelled to do something; I would say most people in that room felt moved to action as his speech came to a close. But, I really wanted to be a part of a group that actually did something about it.

The most recent ISPA blog update introduced Brenè Brown, the first of our keynote speakers for the 2016 ISPA Conference & Expo. That was an exciting announcement, but the confirmation of the closing keynote speakers is just as much of a coup.

Amazing how time flies. It seems like Conference was just a few days ago, but it turns out that the best part of six months has passed since we were last in Vegas. This means with Conference being held in September this year, there are less than six months to go before we meet again!
