Special Event: Everything Texas
Monday, April 10
7:00 - 10:00 pm


Howdy, Partner! Grab your hat, put on your boots, and kick up your heels for an evening of genuine Texas fun. Your destination, without having to step foot out of the hotel, is an authentic 15,000 square-foot ranch nestled in downtown Dallas. This ranch is not for city slickers--this here is the real thing. Begin the evening by feasting on mouthwatering Texas BBQ, with all the fixings. Then, get ready for the fun to begin, as The Keith Mitchell Band takes the main stage. If you prefer a more radical agenda for the evening, try your luck on a bucking bronco, learn the latest country line dance, play a hand or two of Texas Hold'em in the ISPI Saloon, or watch the Armadillo Races, referred to as "the sport of kings" in Texas. Yeeha!

A ticket to the Special Event: Everything Texas is included with your conference registration.  Extra tickets for guests can be purchased for $100 each.

Closing Banquet
Tuesday, April 11

6:00 - 7:00 pm:    Pre-banquet Reception
7:00 - 11:00 pm:  Banquet and Presentation of Awards

Begin the evening relaxing and socializing with other Closing Banquet attendees during the pre-reception. Cash bars and hors d'oeuvres are available. Each year, the banquet is a time to celebrate the accomplishments of ISPI Award of Excellence recipients, welcome the newly elected Board of Directors, and spend time with friends and colleagues.

At this year's banquet, seasoned Theatresports™ improvisers Kat Koppett, Brenny Rabine, and William Hall will use past, present, and future ISPI "stuff" to create a fully improvised, interactive, and entertaining show. With the help of you, the audience, the team will spontaneously perform scenes, songs, and stories incorporating the highlights of the conference and the ISPI culture. Hang on to your hats and expect a relaxed and raucous evening.

A ticket to the Closing Banquet is NOT included with your conference registration. Individual tickets are $55 and should be purchased in advance.

Re-Certification Points

By attending ISPI's Annual Conference, a CPT earns 12 points toward the 40 necessary to re-certify after the initial three-year certification.
