Meetings focused on helping each other
The Parks and Recreation Summit is a unique way to learn from other parks and rec professionals who do exactly what you do.
Join your peers and industry experts at the Summit –
there is NO COST for participating attendees or their communities.
Welcome to the premier event designed specifically for parks and recreation leaders. This exclusive gathering fosters valuable connections within the parks and rec community, offering a unique platform for directors and professionals to collaborate, share insights, and drive advancements in community recreation.
With a strong emphasis on professional development, this summit provides participants with the opportunity to engage with the latest products and technologies transforming the industry. Join us for an experience that will enhance your skills and help shape the future of our park districts!
Your Personalized Agenda
To be considered for a seat at the Summit, you will submit an application so that our team can understand more about you, your municipality, and how we can support your initiatives.
Based upon your application and then a selection process that you drive, we develop a custom agenda that introduces you to the peers and solution providers you are interested in meeting, and who are interested in meeting with you. This personalized schedule is two days of interactive and topical meetings, meals, and social functions. As a result, you will learn more in 48 hours than you ever thought was possible!
What's the Catch?
There is none. You will meet with other industry professionals to share your challenges and strategies for success. You will meet with suppliers whose products and technologies can make your job easier. Best of all, you will do all of this in a way that meets your needs, all at no cost to you or your municipality.
To be eligible, you must direct, manage or be a decision-maker in a parks and recreation system serving a community of 25,000 or greater. You should have challenges that you are interested in sharing, a willingness to help others and a desire to learn about products or services that can help you in the next 6 to 18 months.
