2026 Spring Summit Highlights
The 2026 IPPA Spring Summit delivered two unforgettable days of leadership development, practical learning, and meaningful connection. From a dynamic opening workshop and insights on operating systems to sessions on effective meetings, sales excellence, operational best practices, and leadership mindset—highlighted by Renita Wojtuszewski’s inspiring reflection on the power of the IPPA community—the program set a strong tone. Day two brought high energy with Josh Linkner’s “Big Little Breakthroughs” keynote, followed by sessions on growth goals, treasury best practices, AI in sales, and operational improvement, all culminating in an unforgettable celebration with Chicago’s own Maggie Speaks. Thank you to our members, speakers, and sponsors for making the 2026 Summit truly exceptional.

Membership Value Stories
The friends and relationships we have built through IPPA over the years are priceless. Through IPPA’s events and conferences, we have met and helped hundreds of payroll & HR providers increase their revenue, stay competitive in the HCM space, and provide their clients peace of mind with our turn-key, white-labeled labor law poster solutions. We would absolutely recommend joining IPPA if you are looking to grow your business!
I am proud to be one of the original founding members of the Independent Payroll Provider Association (IPPA). The IPPA has been a valuable resource for me and my business since its inception. The association has given me access to valuable information, resources and the opportunity to network with other independent payroll providers. I have found the IPPA to be a supportive and collaborative community, and I am grateful for the association’s support of independent payroll providers.
“Being an allied member of IPPA has fostered so many relationships and partnerships for our company. This group truly pours passion into all they do to help you network, and grow your business. The conferences they host are first class and allow you time with all attendees so you are interacting and capitalizing on meeting more people. IPPA is a group that continues to give opportunities to put your business name out there so you are known with all of their participants. If you are not a part, you really need to consider this group, they are top notch!”
“Payroll is an incredibly complex and unique industry. The IPPA brings together many resources for independent payroll providers, but more importantly, provides a space for us to come together, collaborate, and share ideas. I am a newer member and have only had the privilege of attending two conferences to date, but each time I left with new contacts, new insight, and great takeaways to come back and apply to my business. I’d recommend IPPA to any independent payroll firm looking to grow their business or gain industry knowledge.”
