2025 Conference Wrap-Up

The 24th Annual DPHA Conference & Product Showcase in Houston brought together members from across North America for three days filled with connection, education, and inspiration. The energy and engagement throughout the event were outstanding, with attendees sharing glowing feedback.  This year’s conference welcomed 344 attendees across 193 companies and 48 exhibitor booths, creating an atmosphere buzzing with collaboration and enthusiasm.

The conference kicked off with a dynamic keynote from Crystal Washington, who explored how to future-proof your business by blending technology with authentic human connection. Her message resonated deeply, sparking conversations that carried through every session, showcase, and networking event.

Attendees enjoyed extended Product Showcase hours, allowing more time for meaningful conversations with exhibitors, hands-on product exploration, and new business connections. Always a crowd favorite, our member roundtables offered open forums for collaboration and shared learning.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Houston and contributed to the energy, engagement, and inspiration that defined this year’s conference. We can’t wait to celebrate our 25th Annual DPHA Conference & Product Showcase next year in Salt Lake City, where we’ll honor 25 years of learning, innovation, and connection.
