What's New

The ISPN Board is moving closer to a final decision about the ISPN 2020 conference plan of action as a result of COVID 19. We had hoped to have all details finalized this week, but we aren’t quite there yet. Another Board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday April 1, 2020 and we will endeavor to have final and specific information for you subsequent to that meeting. We greatly appreciate your patience as we thoughtfully navigate these uncertain times together.

We regret to inform you that the ISPN 2020 Annual Conference has been cancelled. We greatly regret the loss of an exciting opportunity to exchange ideas in person but look forward to online delivery of some of this year’s information and to the 2021 conference https://bit.ly/2vJCkde
