Proposals are now being accepted for future conferences
The Conference is held in the first or second week of January each year in the North Conway region of NH.
 
The Northern New England Recreation & Parks Conference Committee is always accepting speaker proposals for future conferences.
 
The conference draws 190+ parks and recreation professionals from all over New England and over 40 exhibitors. This is regarded as one of the top conferences in New England.
 
The conference setup is as follows; three or four sessions are running during each time slot, with four different tracts. The tracts are administration, programming, maintenance and parks. We are currently seeking speakers on topics that fall into these categories. Session lengths are 60 minutes, including time for questions & answers, and are worth .1 CEUs.
 
The Committee will review all requests according to the Speaker Expense Policy, (as part of the Manual of Policy and Procedures for the Northern New England Recreation & Park Conference).
