THE FAREWELL PARTY
WHEN YOU THINK OF THE SPA
INDUSTRY, you probably don’t
immediately associate it with baseball.
this year, Ispa set out to change that by
partnering with Chase field to provide
attendees with a special farewell party
experience that proved to be a uniquely
fitting end to a jubilant week of
ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF
CELEBRATING our week at Chase
Field was the multi-dimensional nature of
the venue. Not only were there dozens of
tables for attendees to gather over
delicious ballpark food, but the bars and
dance floor made for an especially lively
time as the Arizona Diamondbacks
vanquished the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-2.
The event drew record interest and
participation from ISPA attendees, and
we’d like to thank everyone for their
patience as we checked everyone into the

Farewell Party.
Though the D-Backs were out of the
playoff race, there was still a buzz in the
open-roofed stadium due in large part to
the presence of the locally-notorious
Dodger fans. In their final home game of
the season, Arizona put on a show for all
in attendance. After falling down 0-2 in
the first two innings, some impressive
hitting put the hometown team back up
3-2. A three-run homer and another solo
slam in the later innings put L.A.’s hopes
of a comeback to rest, and the
Diamondbacks prevailed over the playoff-
hungry Dodgers in an action-packed
game.
For guests, however, the action was
just beginning. It only took a few brief
moments for the enthusiastic attendees to
begin the official afterparty. True to form,
the dance floor was packed with everyone
who had energy to spare. Friends
reunited, colleagues discovered each
other’s fun sides and lasting memories
were made as ISPA attendees—and ISPA
board members—danced the night away.
