This is an annual opportunity for educators to present current research on the recreation industry. Presentations must be done in-person, by at least one of the authors. We especially invite applied research in the commercial recreation, event and travel industries. Submitted proposals will undergo a peer-reviewed acceptance process. Accepted (and presented) papers will be published in the “Proceedings of the 2025 Recreation Experience Community Network Research Symposium.”

Submissions (and inquiries) are to be e-mailed to the Conference Editor: A. Scott Rood - Associate Professor Grand Valley State University roodsc@gvsu.edu

We encourage educators to join REC Net and bring students. We will however offer presenters the option of a one-day rate of $199 and free membership to Rec Net for one year.
