Join the Parks & Recreation Professional Practice Network (PPN) for an engaging opportunity to meet and network with other PPN members. The meeting will be conversation-focused, allowing for peer-to-peer learning and knowledge-sharing through a facilitated discussion focused on the public sector. Attendees will be encouraged to share ideas and best practices from their agencies and the top issues they're encountering working in the public sector.

To get to the mezzanine level, take the Hall B lobby escalators (by the EXPO entrance) down one level and turn left, following the convention center signage to rooms M100A-E. Room M100B is right across from the Reflection Room.
