“As a first-time attendee, I was blown away by the hospitality of the Campus Rec Magazine staff and the welcoming nature of the event. Despite knowing several of the attendees through other opportunities, this was the first time I was able to dive deeper into some of the issues surrounding us as leaders in campus recreation. I especially enjoyed the social time that allowed for follow-up conversations over a meal while soaking in the sun. I encourage all senior leaders to consider attending the Summit.”

The Campus Rec Leadership Summit is the best thing I have been involved with over my 20 years in campus recreation. The way you get to meet other directors or associate directors from other universities through roundtables and the in-depth conversations on situations that we all deal with is priceless.  Then you get to know them more through social aspects during the conference.  The Summit is one thing I look forward to each year to continue to grow my knowledge and meet new professionals and vendors.

Attending the Summit was a great decision for Fusion. The event format created the opportunity for true connection with the attendees and the chance to really understand what issues and challenges they face on campus. The roundtable discussions touched on ideas and methods applicable for leaders everywhere and I'm excited to bring what I've learned back to our leadership team.

I’ve had the pleasure of attending the Summit for the past four years, and each year I’m able to gain new ideas, make new connections, and learn about new products and services that are available for collegiate recreation. The intimate setting with other directors, being able to talk through challenges we’re all facing and how to overcome them, has been invaluable for me as I continue to grow as a professional. It’s great being able to have one-on-one conversations with vendors, and the staff at Campus Rec Magazine are top notch in putting together a great program for us. Thank you!

Attending the Campus Rec Leadership Summit was both fun and informative. As a vendor, I had the opportunity to gain valuable insights into campus life through conversations with directors and roundtable discussions, enhancing my understanding of how Human Touch massage chairs can benefit students. Connecting face-to-face with various institutions — especially those that recently added our XT PRO massage chairs — was a particularly rewarding experience.
