Event Detail





Flyers, Facebook posts, emails, event calendars… sound familiar? If you’re the one juggling it all for your agency, this session is for you.

Join fellow parks and recreation marketing pros for a high-energy, idea-packed session focused on what’s actually working right now. We’ll dig into real campaigns from agencies like yours—what grabbed attention, what flopped, and what surprisingly moved the needle. From promoting summer camps and special events to increasing program registration and community engagement, we’ll break down practical strategies you can use immediately.

Explore fresh trends in social media, branding, and content creation (yes—even when you’re short on time and staff), along with tools that can help you work smarter, not harder. We’ll also look outside the rec world for inspiration—because sometimes the best ideas come from unexpected places—and show you how to adapt them for your community.

Most importantly, this is a chance to connect. Swap ideas, share wins (and struggles), and build a go-to network of recreation marketers who get it. You’ll leave with new ideas, new contacts, and a renewed game plan for making your marketing stand out.

Who should attend?  This session is designed for the doers, creators, and storytellers behind parks and recreation marketing efforts. If you’re the one designing flyers, managing social media, updating the website, or trying to boost program registrations—this session is for you.
