Flyers, Facebook posts, emails, event calendars… sound familiar? If you’re leading the charge (or part of the team) behind your agency’s marketing efforts, we want to hear from you.
We’re looking for dynamic, real-world presenters to lead sessions at our upcoming marketing workshop for parks and recreation professionals. This is your opportunity to share what’s actually working—campaigns that drove registrations, boosted engagement, or helped your agency stand out in a crowded space. We’re especially interested in honest, practical stories: what grabbed attention, what didn’t land, and what you learned along the way.
Sessions should be high-energy, idea-packed, and rooted in real experience. Topics may include (but aren’t limited to):
- Promoting summer camps, programs, and special events
- Social media strategies that engage your community
- Branding and storytelling for local impact
- Working smarter with limited time and staff
- Creative content development (even on a tight budget)
- Tools, platforms, or processes that improved your workflow
- Lessons or inspiration from outside the parks and recreation field
We are accepting session proposals for this workshop. Proposals should be submitted by September 1. Information provided will be used as written for workshop promotional materials. Please review the session questions here.
