The International Spa Association (ISPA) will celebrate innovative and successful spa-related initiatives from industry leaders at the 2013 ISPA Conference & Expo in Las Vegas in October.

Members of the organisation had the opportunity to submit successful innovations for the chance to be selected for an ISPA Innovate Award.

More than 400 votes were cast from members to determine the top innovations in the spa sector.

Winners in the inaugural awards include the JW Marriott San Antonio Lantana Spa, which focused on the farm-to-treatment table spa experience and the Phytomer Corporation in Salt Lake city, that used a new process to treat waste water using a natural, sustainable resource.

The ISPA Conference & Expo Innovate Sessions will be held 21 October and 23 October at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, where award recipients will share their innovations with ISPA conference attendees.

ISPA recently launched a research report from PricewaterhouseCoopers which highlighted farm-to-treatment table as a coming trend: click here to find out more
