2016 NRPA Annual Conference Special Events
NRPA Opening Reception
The NRPA Opening Reception at
6:30 p.m. October 5 is the kickoff to a
week full of discovery. Join thousands
of your peers, speakers and exhibitors
at the St. Louis Zoo to explore the
wildlife exhibits, grab a drink, have a
bite to eat and show off your moves
on the dance floor while enjoying the
band. Special guests include penguins,
apes, stingrays and more! The Zoo,
in beautiful Forest Park, is renowned
for its beautiful naturalistic exhibits
and for its diverse collection of animals. It is widely recognized for its
animal management, wildlife conservation, research and education. This
party is graciously sponsored by GameTime and tickets are included with
Full Package, Young Professional and
Guest registration packages.
The Creativity Lab
New this year, the Creativity Lab will

host facilitated individual, small and
large group activities, games and exercises throughout the Conference that
will help spark innovation, guide creative problem solving and provide engaging discussions. Use kinetic sand
to squeeze, stretch and shape whatever comes to mind. Play audio tic-tactoe and improv games, participate in
a scavenger hunt and try out a mini
skill-builder activity. Loosen up and
have some fun at the Creativity Lab.
Check the Conference Mobile App for
the full schedule of the activities happening October 5, 6 and 7.
Exhibitor Hosted Happy Hour
Stick around the Exhibit Hall October
6 for the Exhibitor Hosted Happy Hour
at 5 p.m. This event will feature food,
drinks and opportunities to win a variety of giveaways. You can catch up with
old friends, share everything you learned
during the first two days of the Confer-

ence and chat with exhibitors. This is
also a great opportunity to browse the
exhibit hall and discover the amazing
products and services on display from
the more than 400 exhibitors.
NRPA Closing General Session:
Parks and Rec, All Hands on Deck
We are capping off three days of innovative education sessions with a big
surprise at 4:45 p.m. October 7. This
event may be cloaked in mystery but
it's guaranteed to be something you
will be telling all your co-workers
about when you get back to the office.
Your mission, should you choose to
accept it, is to join thousands of your
peers for a finale session like none other - including a demonstration that
you won't soon forget and an opportunity to have some fun with other
attendees. This surprise will be worth
the wait, so make sure you mark this
" session " on your schedule.
Don't miss the most exciting special events of
the 2016 NRPA Annual Conference!
