Passover

Important Scheduling Note for the 2026 ISPA Conference

The 2026 ISPA Conference is scheduled for Tuesday, March 31 through Thursday, April 2. The second evening of Conference regrettably conflicts with the beginning of Passover. ISPA is working closely with the venue, partners and impacted ISPA members to ensure thoughtful options are available for those wanting to observe this important Jewish holiday while in Las Vegas for the event.  Additional information on those offerings will be listed here on this page prior to the opening of event registration in the Fall.

For a more in-depth explanation, please read the following email shared with ISPA members.

Dear ISPA Community,

We hope this message finds you well.  Thank you for a tremendous ISPA Conference last week!  We are beyond grateful for the support. 

As we look ahead towards the 2026 ISPA Conference, we wanted to share some important information regarding the timing of next year’s event. When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted our world, ISPA faced significant challenges in adjusting to the rapid changes that were tossed our way. During that time, we were forced to cancel two in-person ISPA Conferences and worked closely with our event partners to reschedule. This resulted in ISPA and our event partners pushing out multiple fully signed contracts to future years, with limited available dates given to ISPA for these future conferences. We are incredibly grateful for their flexibility and generosity, allowing us to navigate those difficult years without significant penalties to our non-profit association.

Unfortunately, because of all these forced cancellations and rescheduling, the 2026 ISPA Conference will take place March 31 – April 2, 2026, and will partially overlap with the start of Passover. We understand this is a significant occasion for some of our members, who may not be able to join us.  ISPA will thoughtfully work with all members to ensure a presence as appropriate.  For those members that observe this important Jewish holiday and also plan to attend, we will be working with our partners to provide Kosher food options and are grateful to the members of our community who are helping coordinate meaningful support, including a Seder dinner.

For those unable to attend, we are committed to ensuring your presence is still felt and honored. ISPA has always stood for inclusivity, respect and community. We remain devoted to supporting all members and honoring the diverse traditions that make our association so special. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Lynne or Kelleye with any questions.

Respectfully,

The ISPA Board of Directors
