Talent Symposium Speakers at #ISPA2020
Although the 2020 ISPA Talent Symposium was canceled, ISPA’s commitment to helping its members develop a
talent strategy and more deeply engage their employees is unchanged. Seth Mattison and Smiley Poswolsky,
originally scheduled to speak at the April event, will now present at #ISPA2020. Stay tuned for further updates on
when they’ll be appearing during the three-day celebration this fall.
Beyond the Mall and Monuments
Washington, D.C. is more than just the capital of the United States—it’s the sixth largest metropolitan area in the
country and has a median age lower than any of the 50 states. And while the museums and monuments of the
National Mall are internationally known, there’s a lot to see in the District that’s not located between the Capitol
and the Lincoln Memorial. If you want to explore the city while avoiding the crowds, plan on visiting some of
D.C.’s less well-known museums and sights.
The National Museum of Women in the Arts houses an accessible, varied and impactful collection within walk-
ing distance of the National Mall. The Smithsonian National Zoo, located in beautiful Rock Creek Park, is free to
visit. And if you’re flying into Washington-Dulles and interested in aerospace, stop by the free Steven F. Udvar-
Hazy Center—an extension of the National Air and Space Museum that houses the Space Shuttle Discovery,
among other large aircraft.
