Welcome to Baltimore! — Episode 049

Today’s episode is a special edition of Open Space Radio — we’re
diving behind the scenes of the upcoming 2019 NRPA Annual
Conference in Baltimore, Maryland, which is happening September
24-26. We’re releasing this episode a little earlier than we
typically do, in hopes that those of you who are attending can
tune in as you fly, drive or hike your way to Baltimore. For
those of you who are unable to attend, we still have some great
tips that you can apply to other conferences (and hopefully a
future NRPA Annual Conference).


We’re joined by Amanda Hersey, NRPA’s Director of Conferences aka
the mastermind behind the event, and Matt Brubaker, NRPA’s
Director of Marketing, who is the guru behind promoting the
conference and responsible for sharing the many great things the
conference has to offer.


Amanda and Matt share some valuable insider tips on making the
most of your time at the conference, things that are new to the
conference this year and the events that you won’t want to miss
(like Cal Ripken Jr.’s keynote speech or the NRPA Opening
Reception sponsored by GameTime).


We also chat about the things we’re all looking forward to this
year in Baltimore, but one thing is certain: We can’t wait to see
thousands of park and recreation professionals together in Charm
City to learn, network and be inspired.


Tune in to the episode below to make sure you don’t miss out on
anything at the 2019 NRPA Annual Conference! And, be sure to stop
by the Open Space Radio booth (#1519) in the exhibit hall to say
hi, answer some questions on the microphone and get some pretty
sweet Open Space Radio swag!
