This past week, professional home stagers from all over the United States and Canada came together at the Hilton Bellevue, in Bellevue, WA for 4 days at the 2008 IAHSP Convention.
IAHSP is the International Association of Home Staging Professionals.
The latest in home staging business trends and technology was available to all of those who attended. Many vendors were also set up at the Vendor Fair, sharing their information and presenting the latest products and services available to professionals in the home staging industry.
This is the largest convention of its kind
bringing ASP's (Accredited Staging Professionals) to learn,
share new ideas and network with the finest!
Daily sessions were open for all ASP & ASPM (Masters) participants to attend. A professional panel of Home Staging Masters spoke about their personal experiences in the business. There was a wealth of information given at this years convention which will catapult the industry to the next level of standards!
The last evening was set aside for the "Masquerade Ball", where awards were given out by Barb Schwarz, the creator of home staging, to those who have been recognized by their peers for their excellence in the Professional Home Staging Industry. My daughter Justine & I were nominated for "The Rising Star Award" which we were very greatful for having been acknowledged for our past years contributions to the staging industry. The award went out to Michelle Morris of VA, who is very well deserving and Trish Kim of WA D.C. was handed the "Award of Excellence" for 2008! Many of the IAHSP Chapters were also awarded for their contributions to the staging industry.
This years convention turned out to be an eventful 4 days with the meeting of the minds and the many creative members of this professional and ever growing organization.
