Express Your Interest
The Leadership Conference program is developed by our members, bottom-up. By telling us your interests, you help us fine-tune the program. For instance, if there's a wildly popular session, we may move it to a larger room or schedule a repeat performance. Or, if we have several high-interest sessions scheduled at the same time, we may move one to another time slot. By completing your interests, you're the voice of our customer. You make the program better for everyone.
To complete your interest, you must be signed in and registered for the conference.

MBB Program
Items marked with the star indicate sessions designed for an MBB-level audience. At no conference will you find such a comprehensive and tailored program to support the needs of Master Black Belts. Of course, everyone is welcome to attend these or any other sessions at the Leadership Conference.

Guest Program
ISSSP was a pioneer in inviting spouses and guests to our conference. To our delight, the program has grown every year, and a remarkable percentage of our delegates bring a spouse or guest to enjoy the fine weather, dining and beauty of the Phoenix valley. There is no cost, and spouses and guests are invited to attend the Wake Up to Life hike and professional development presentations throughout the conference. Guest program activities are marked with the green circle - note that meals are not included,.

The below schedule is provided for planning purposes and may be adjusted slightly.
