NIRSA Regional Conferences
NIRSA comprises seven geographic regions, many of which host annual or biennial conferences. These events are centered around education and networking for NIRSA members within a specific region. Exhibitors will see a wide range of campus rec job titles at regional conferences: students, coordinators, managers, directors, and more!
While these events are smaller than the NIRSA Conference, they are highly focused on relationship building. Purchasing a table at a regional expo is a phenomenal way to connect with the NIRSA family at a more localized level.
Other Events
Occasionally, exhibition opportunities arise at NIRSA events outside of the Conference & Expo and Regional Conferences. There may be space for your company to engage NIRSA members from a pop-up tent on the sideline of a sports tournament, from a table at a targeted institute, or even virtually at an online event.
