Update, September 4: This article has been updated to reflect the changes to the 2026 NIRSA Campus Rec Expo’s initial location and date range.
The NIRSA 2026 Campus Rec Expo is aiming to climb to new heights next year, and we need your help to reach the summit!
Do you swear by a certain vendor on your campus? Always find yourself recommending the same product or solution to your NIRSA peers? Have a well-loved service in your campus community that would be a great fit on other campuses? These are perfect matches for the 2026 Campus Rec Expo, taking place next April 8-9 in National Harbor, MD.
Professional member referrals are the number one pathway for NIRSA to welcome new exhibitors each year, and referred exhibitors make the exhibit hall more relevant, innovative, and valuable for everyone in the field.
When you refer a trusted company to the Campus Rec Expo, you elevate the entire event by shaping the expo into an experience that’s more responsive to the needs of campus rec, more inspiring for attendees, and more reflective of what’s happening in the field.
Help NIRSA ensure next year’s expo showcases the equipment, gear, technology, services, and solutions that help campus recreation and wellbeing programs across North America reach their peak.
Expo registration is open
Exhibitor registration is open for the NIRSA tradeshow in National Harbor, and summer is a great time to point your favorite vendors toward the 2026 opportunity. Connect them with NIRSA staff to get started and let them know more details can be found on our Exhibitor Information website.
