The 2020 NRPA Annual Conference: A Virtual Experience (NRPA Virtual) took place October 27–29. NRPA Virtual brought us all together as a park and recreation community, and served as a platform for networking and exchanging ideas in new and imaginative ways.

The event took the best of the in-person conference, including the education sessions, keynote speakers and exhibitors, and added innovative and interactive formats to enhance the overall experience. We leveraged the unique opportunity the online format offers to foster collaboration and connection with park and recreation professionals around the country and potentially the world.
