Submit a presentation proposal for the 2019 NIRSA Triventure

Update, May 24: This article has been updated to reflect a new deadline for submitting a presentation proposal.

Now’s your chance to share your knowledge and experience with your professional peers! The 2019 NIRSA Triventure, presented by Mondo will take place from November 6–8 in San Diego, California. It is NIRSA’s second largest educational event and will feature four different learning tracks: aquatics, fitness, recreational facilities, and wellness and wellbeing. Attendees will be able to attend any educational session offered at this event regardless of focus area. We now invite you to submit a presentation proposal for any one of the focus areas—the deadline to submit a proposal is Wednesday, June 19.

The theme for this institute is “Facing the Future Together.” This theme highlights the importance of collaboration in the face of adversity. While the Triventure Committee narrowed down the topics for this year’s institute, they also tried to keep the topic areas broad enough to allow submitters to share new and different ideas. Submitters are encouraged to not only submit proposals about great program successes but also lessons learned and creative ways to combat challenges.

This year, the committee has decided to align the topic areas with NIRSA’s core competencies. Submitters are encouraged to be intentional with their target audience and they will have the ability to designate which, up to two, educational tracks—aquatics, fitness, facilities, wellness and wellbeing—their presentation covers.

Submitters can come up with their own hot topics, but here’s a list to consider:

Emergency action plans
Training
Security
Adaptive programming and equipment
Reaching underrepresented groups
Integrated wellness
Technology
Non-traditional programming
Capital improvement projects

Now that you know the goals of the program committees when it comes educational session programming, here is additional information worth considering:

$100 presenter coupons, professional and student members who are selected as lead presenters at the NIRSA Triventure will receive a $100 voucher good towards registration fees at this event or a future NIRSA institute or annual conference within one year.
