The Parks and Recreation Virtual Summit is a unique way to learn from directors who do exactly what you do.

SEPTEMBER 23-25, 2020 | VIRTUAL

Bringing People Together to Help Each Other

The Parks and Recreation Summit is three days of uniquely structured interactive roundtable sessions, information sharing and networking – 100% online! Get introduced to dozens of others responsible for parks and rec departments, as well as senior representatives from the vendor community who will share how they’re approaching industry issues. The Parks and Rec Summit is your opportunity to get insights on an immediate issue, learn what’s working for your peers and what’s not, and gain new relationships with colleagues from across North America.

A Custom Agenda Based on Your Needs

The Parks and Rec Summit team reviews your application to understand more about you, your department and how we can support your initiatives. Based upon your application and a selection process that is driven by you, we develop a custom agenda that introduces you to the people you are interested in meeting, and who are interested in meeting with you. You will spend three partial days in interactive and topical meetings, roundtable discussions and networking.

What’s The Catch?

To be eligible for the Parks and Rec Summit, you must direct, manage or be a decision-maker in
a parks and recreation system serving a community of 40,000 or greater. Your title should be Director or above, or you should have a minimum of five years in the industry. You should also have challenges that you’re 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. You should be comfortable networking with other industry professionals in both structured and unstructured environments.

Don’t take our word for it…

SEE WHAT INDUSTRY LEADERS LIKE YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE PARKS AND RECREATION SUMMIT.

I’m sure you’ve heard it hundreds’ of times, but it never hurts to promote a good thing. THANK YOU for the opportunity and the experience! Seriously, very well done. I’ve not experienced an event like this before, and it was incredibly beneficial. I hope you ask me back again!
