IAPD and IPRA invite you to support the park and recreation industry by exhibiting at the 2024 Soaring to New Heights Conference, January 25-26, 2024, at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. Come join us by attending the state’s largest park and recreation conference featuring over 300 exhibitors with more than 4,000 park and recreation elected officials, commissioners, board members and professionals expected to attend. With meeting attendance that rivals the National Recreation and Park Association Congress, you’ll receive unprecedented exposure to park and recreation professionals, most of whom make the buying decisions likely to impact your company’s bottom line. You don’t want to miss this opportunity. Exhibitor Prospectus coming soon!
The online remote booth sales (reserving and purchasing booth space) will take place on Thursday, July 27, 2023 for 2023 exhibitors. Time assignments will be based on exhibitor priority points. Companies who did not exhibit in the 2023 show can reserve booth space beginning on Friday, July 28, 2023. The exhibitor prospectus and live floor plan coming soon.
