Media & Awards
What a year at ISPA! From the lively ISPA Visionary presentation to the warm response for our Éminence Kids initiative, the ISPA 2015 Conference & Expo was one of the most memorable events in our company’s history. We felt deeply honored when our president, Boldijarre Koronczay, received the ISPA Visionary Award—one of the industry’s highest honors.
Watch the ISPA Visionary Award presentation and the Éminence Kids video that played at the end of Boldijarre’s speech below.
The award event kicked off the conference and was an emotional moment for Boldijarre and an exciting one for all of us at Éminence Organics. It celebrated decades of hard work and showcased our president’s unmistakable flair. His speech ended in true Boldijarre fashion with a playful dance-off using body doubles of himself and ISPA Chairman Michael Tompkins, followed by a conga line that led attendees onto the Expo floor.
Could we keep that momentum going? Absolutely. Over the next three days we held back-to-back media interviews, welcomed a record number of visitors to the Éminence Organics booth, and watched hundreds of people take selfies with Boldijarre. Most movingly, we were overwhelmed by the support for Éminence Kids—our effort to bring healthy, organic nutrition to seriously ill children. Hundreds of attendees embraced our Éminence Kids teddy bears and helped spread the message of providing organic food to children in need around the world.
We were proud to keep the focus on people: the employees who helped build the company, Boldijarre’s parents who flew in from Hungary, and long-time friend and former ISPA Visionary Sylvia Sepielli, who joined the celebration. As we reflect on this meaningful event, we’re already looking ahead. We remain committed to delivering exceptional products and service, with our supporters and customers at the center of everything we do. Onward and upward!
