2019 ISPA CONFERENCE & EXPO Experience the Evolu BY JAMISON STOIKE n DESIGN BY MARJA WALKER n PHOTOGRAPHY BY JACOB KEPLER PHOTOGRAPHY EVOLVE. IT’S A WORD WITH MANY SHADES OF MEANING. To develop. To change. To adapt. Yet its roots lie in Latin: to unroll, to open up, to reveal. This is more than just a fun fact or bit of trivia, though. See, evolution does not require you to change who you are. Instead, every- thing you need to grow, adapt and evolve in today’s world—the passion, the talent, the purpose—is already within you, just waiting to be revealed. This year’s ISPA Conference & Expo was dedicated to helping ISPA members find the hidden potential for change within themselves. Some discovered it through this year’s impressive slate of education sessions. Others may have found the key to reveal their potential in the General Sessions, in the Experience Center or on the Expo Floor. Regardless of who you are or what your story may be, there’s one burning question to be asked: did you experience the evolution? 34 PULSE ■ novEmbEr/dEcEmbEr 2019
