We would like to inform you that the conference price for this year’s event has increased due to the all-inclusive conference experience we offer. The conference registration includes 7 meals from Thursday dinner to Saturday dinner, 44+ session options, 3 keynote speakers, an industry trade show, and several social and networking options.
We understand that price increases can be frustrating, but we believe that the value of this package far outweighs the additional cost. By including all meals, encompassing education options and offering a wide range of social and networking opportunities, we are creating an immersive experience that will enable attendees to fully engage with the conference material and their fellow attendees.
Furthermore, the increased price allows us to provide a high-quality experience that meets the needs of our attendees. We are committed to delivering the best possible conference, and this all-inclusive package is one way we are working to achieve that goal.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you at the conference. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Our Call for Presentations is NOW OPEN! Please submit your presentation proposals by April 28, 2024. Proposals should include a title, abstract, learning objectives, and a brief bio.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a newcomer to the field, we encourage you to take this opportunity to showcase your knowledge and passion for parks and recreation. Together, let’s build stronger, more connected communities through our collective efforts.
This year, the conference theme is “Community Connections.” We believe that fostering strong connections within communities is essential for creating vibrant and inclusive spaces. We’re seeking presentations that explore innovative strategies, best practices, and success stories related to parks and recreation planning and operations.
