The planning process for Running USA’s 2022 Industry Conference, set for Feb. 20-22 in-person in Orlando, Florida, at the Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World, is in full swing and the Running USA team is looking forward to welcoming our industry colleagues to one of our best conferences yet.
“We are full speed ahead on the conference planning process and confident that the 2022 event will be a safe, exciting, in-person experience,” said Christine Bowen, vice president of programming, partnerships and operations for Running USA. “We have had a very strong level of interest in the event expo and registration volume is trending on par with past years.”
Programming announcements began rolling out last week with the news that Rosalyn (Roz) Durant, Senior Vice President of Operations for Walt Disney World Resort, will open the event on Feb. 21, 2022 with thought-provoking remarks for an industry that has endured two difficult pandemic years.
For those who have not registered yet, the time to get the best price for your registration is now. A price increase is set for midnight on Sept. 30, 2021.
