as well as conceptual papers on innovative models or theories, perspectives,
or methods. Presentations detailing innovative recreation programs or
other applied practices within the field are also encouraged.
Submissions should include a component addressing policy, planning, or
management implications. As always, graduate student research will be
an important part of the conference. Graduate student attendance and
submissions are strongly encouraged.

presentation, poster presentation, or no preference.
File 2 - Extended Abstract:
Limited to 3 pages. Your extended abstract should be
sufficiently detailed to permit judgment of the paper’s quality.
Extended abstracts of empirical papers should include a problem

Extended abstracts of conceptual and theoretical papers should
include a problem statement and discussion with a system of
organization similar to that of the empirical papers. All
