Due to the impacts of COVID-19 and recommendations from the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the place-based 2020 NIRSA Annual Conference & Campus Rec and Wellness Expo will not take place in Phoenix, Ariz., this year as planned.
The decision to cancel the conference was made within a context of the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, feedback from campus recreation leadership groups, and the consideration for the safety of our attendees.
NIRSA is exploring new ways to connect members for education opportunities and social interaction. Alternatives are under discussion and NIRSA will keep members updated with these new ideas through future communications.
