Attending a conference isn’t just about attending workshops — it’s about engaging with people, networking, and learning from those in your field to grow as a professional. At the 2025 RCPA Conference Strive to Thrive, attendees will have a plethora of opportunities to speak with, learn from, and connect with others in their field. Some activities we have planned include:

  • Tuesday’s Welcome Reception — Grab some hors d’oeuvres and chat with your colleagues. Compare conference schedules, share contact information, and meet both old friends and those new to the industry!
  • Wednesday’s Gentle Yoga — Bring your yoga mat to the Cocoa Terrace bright and early for a gentle breathing and yoga activity. Available for those at all levels of yoga, this exercise routine will be hosted by our Keynote Speaker Victor Reyes, a Retired Judge who teaches and embraces mindfulness.
  • Wednesday’s Association Awards Luncheon — Enjoy lunch with your peers as we recognize those who have enriched our communities and organizations with thought-provoking strategies, flexibility, and leadership roles.
  • Connections Hall — From the Reception on Wednesday to the grand prize giveaway Thursday, Connections Hall lives up to its name. Attendees will connect with over 90 exhibiting organizations, learning about their products and services, while competing with fellow attendees for a host of prizes!
