Presentation proposals for the 2023 NIRSA Annual Conference & Campus Rec and Wellness Expo are now being accepted! As NIRSA’s premier event, the Annual Conference is a great opportunity to participate in transformative learning opportunities, establish personal and professional networks, and strengthen your experience and resume.

One of the main reasons attendees love the NIRSA Annual Conference is the opportunity to grow their learning through face-to-face education sessions, roundtable conversations, and collaborative experiences. By presenting at NIRSA 2023 you have an opportunity to advance your own professional development while fostering someone else’s learning as well.

“I attended my first NIRSA Annual Conference this year as a new professional and I found myself blown away by the conference,” says Braeden Mueller, Coordinator of Intramurals and Club Sports at Texas A&M University at Galveston. “The content in the learning sessions helped cultivate new ideas for our campus and introduce me to other professionals. I hope to have many more NIRSA Annual Conference experiences in the future as they are crucial networking opportunities as well.”

Here are some of the most common reasons campus rec professionals present at a NIRSA Annual Conference:

  • Contribute to and learn about the most recent advances in campus rec
  • Demonstrate your ability to communicate and facilitate an impactful professional learning experience
  • Showcase the accomplishments of your institution by sharing innovative programs and practices
  • Inspire colleagues
  • Establish yourself as a leader in the campus recreation profession by sharing your knowledge and experience
  • Connect with like-minded professionals by showing your engagement with the field

The NIRSA Annual Conference is rooted in helping professionals in higher education develop and maintain competencies in the field of campus recreation and wellbeing. Consider sharing your innovative practices and programs with colleagues in Pittsburg!

Proposals for general educational sessions, panel presentations, and roundtables will be accepted through Wednesday, August 31. Submit yours today!
