Whether you’re a coach, administrator, non-profit executive, fitness advocate, researcher or other change-maker who aims to positively impact youth, the Project Play Summit is for you. As the nation’s premier gathering of leaders building healthy communities through sports, our conference brings together 500+ attendees from across the U.S. and internationally.
Unrivaled networking
You’ll meet leaders from all eight sectors that Project Play recognizes as touching the lives of children: Community Recreation Groups, National Sport Organizations, Policymakers & Civic Leaders, Education, Parents, Public Health, Business & Industry, and Tech & Media.
Thought leadership
The 2025 Summit will focus on key themes: Health & Safety, Tech for Good, Coaching, Communities, and Youth Voice, among other topics. We will explore ways to help the nation achieve 63% youth sports participation by the year 2030, a target set by the government’s Healthy People 2030 initiative and the focus of our 63X30 roundtable. We will unpack the trends to watch in our State of Play report and pump new ideas into the bloodstream that can help build a youth-centered sport ecosystem that serves all. In plenaries and breakouts, discover tools and gain fresh insights from grassroots innovators, youth, policymakers, national sport leaders, best-selling authors and top citizen-athletes.
Action
Be there as funders and other organizations announce new programs and commitments. We’ll elevate examples of how communities, businesses and government can work together to improve access and provide quality experiences for all kids.
