Here is what people are saying . . .
"Our new pool system was born in concept when I attended the Hot Springs Conference in November 2019 in Palm Sprigns. It was there that I met both Vicky and Steve and established the connection that led to me visiting Iron Mountain Hot Springs and observing their state-of-the-art system, upon which ours is modeled. Without that mentorship and technical information, we would not have the incredible system we have today." ~Ben Slusser, Vice President/Director of Operations at Quinn’s Hot Springs Resort | "I really enjoyed getting to experience other hot springs operations and hear what others in the industry are doing." ~ 2024 Conference Attendee | "The best thing about the conference was meeting other owners and the openness of everyone to share. I appreciated learning about he initiatives of the association in areas like insurance and regulations." ~ 2024 Conference Attendee |
"Attending the Hot Springs Connection conference at Murrieta Hot Springs was an eye-opening experience as a newcomer to the industry. We had the rare opportunity to explore the property before its grand opening, gaining firsthand insights into the challenges and triumphs of developing a hot springs resort. From site planning and water filtration to ADA compliance and navigating local regulations, the learning was invaluable. But the best part? Connecting with an incredible community of like-minded professionals who are passionate about hot springs and bettering the industry. The networking and shared knowledge made this event truly a one of a kind experience and I can't wait for 2025!" ~ Amanda Brooks |
