Read what past NRFI attendees have said about attending previous institutes:
The Facilities Institute is great because it addresses the things we deal with, or NEED to deal with, everyday in our facility. I return to my institution with tons of good ideas every year.
Jeff Walter (2008 attendee)
NIRSA unites us all under the recreation umbrella; however, with the Facilities Institute, you get the chance to network with other professionals whose day-to-day job is similar to yours. This creates more personal interaction to exchange new ideas for troubleshooting, purchasing, programming, etc.
Dominique Ennis (2007 attendee)
The NRFI is a great hands-on learning experience. You get the opportunity to learn about many other University Campus Recreation Departments and their Student Recreation Centers. Many institutions from all over the nation are present and they are all very willing to share information regarding their building process. It was especially a great opportunity to network with professionals in the field and take many great ideas back to your institution.
Joel Storm (2006 attendee)
The NRFI is by far the best way to see and learn about state of the art facility design and management.
Greg Jordan (2006 attendee)
The NIRSA Facilities Institute is a perfect opportunity to learn about important facilities issues, share ideas, network with colleagues, and spend time with corporate members in a more intimate setting than a national meeting. It is also a great way to see new recreation and sport venues in locations around the country.
