Friday, June 26th
Hosted by Florida State University in Tallahassee

FSU Campus Recreation welcomes our colleagues from around the state to Tallahassee for a day of learning and sharing on topics that affect all of us in recreation. The goal of the Florida Summit is to provide an opportunity for you to ask questions of fellow recreation professionals and students and get answers and ideas that you can take back to your own campus. The program schedule is designed around what you want. Following registration, our session leaders will be in contact with each attendee to get your hot topics on the agenda for your sessions of interest.

Of course, great conversations also happen outside the sessions. We hope you'll consider coming up to Tallahassee on Thursday afternoon for a round of golf at Seminole Golf Course or other pre-Summit social opportunities. Details are available below.
