The NZRA Recreation Conference is the premier event on the professional development and networking calendar for recreation professionals. The 2017 event will be held from 8–9 November at the TSB Showplace in New Plymouth, with optional field trips on Friday 10 November.

NZRA believes recreation creates great New Zealanders. Our vision is that New Zealanders are active, healthy, and connected through recreation. The NZRA Recreation Conference helps to realise this vision by looking to the horizon to understand future New Zealanders and their future recreation needs and wants. The Recreation Conference will provoke discussion on the global/local issues that will impact our future participants and our society.
