Description

Overview:

Now in its 5th year, the CPRA Aquatics Symposium and Technician Workshop promises to bring another event packed with outstanding educational sessions and a list of incredible, nationally sought-after speakers to the Region’s ONLY Aquatics focused mini conference.

Access the 2026 symposium brochure with sessions and speaker bios HERE.


Who should attend?

The topics presented each year will vary in content, but rest assured, it will be strictly aquatics focused! Therefore, we encourage all aquatics professionals to attend. The Symposium falls in January with hopes that agencies can send their critical seasonal leaders in addition to full time staff.

Accommodations:

For those attendees visiting the metro area from near and far, looking for a place to stay. There are a variety of hotels available close to the Bison Ridge Recreation Center. Please note that there is not a group rate for lodging. Check out the brochure for lodging recommendations.
