Inspo in Spo

Inspiration. “Inspo” for short. It’s critical to our work as community college marketers. We seek ways to be inspired, to be creative, and more importantly find ways to help students find their futures in higher education. 

This October, you can get that inspiration from your fellow District 7 marketers. We will make our way to the Lilac City of Spokane, the hub of the Inland Northwest, for our annual district conference, “Inspo In Spo.” And we’d love to see you there. 

The Doubletree Spokane City Center, located in the heart of Spokane’s downtown, will be our event host, just a few minutes’ walk from Riverfront Park and Spokane Falls, the largest urban waterfall in America. You’ll also find yourself close to everything Spokane has to offer, including shopping, dining, wine tasting, and the Davenport Arts District.

While Spokane is home to Hoopfest, the world’s largest three-on-three basketball tournament, you won’t need to jump through hoops to net inspiring new ideas at the conference. Your fellow District 7 members will be sharing ideas and stories that are real slam dunks. 

Take this opportunity to network, discover, and find your "Inspo in Spo!"
