2011 CONVENTION PROGRAM

The Annual Convention is the highlight of TAHPERD’s year, bringing together hundreds of professionals demonstrating their expertise in activity-based professions (e.g., coaching, coordinated school health, dance, fitness, health, physical education, sport management, and recreation).   The purpose of the convention is to enable practitioners to share their knowledge-base and activity ideas with other professionals in the field and therefore enhance the experiences that our professionals are able to provide to respective audiences.  

The 2011 convention is shaping up to have a full agenda of sessions on Monday and Tuesday.  Both days promise to have the potential of 80+ sessions, activity, lecture, panel, and poster sessions.  Sunday will once again offer several workshops from 1-4 PM, providing activity sessions for elementary through high school teachers, university/college round tables, as well as a student resume workshop.  Monday sessions will begin at 8 AM and got through 4:15 PM, Tuesday's sessions go from 8 AM through noon with an awards luncheon to follow.  All convention sessions will take place at the Embassy Suites Convention Hotel.  A Gala of Movement will highlight local physical education programs and local physical activity teams at an off site location on Sunday from 5-6 PM.  Please check the TAHPERD web page in October for specific session titles and times of all convention activities. 

Embassy Suites is providing TAHPERD a block of suites that will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Members can reserve suites by calling 615-890-4464 (group code is “TAH”) or contacting www.murfreesboro.embassysuites.com.  The room rates are $150 per night for Single/Double, Triple, or Quad (up to 4 persons in each of the rooms) and includes buffet and ‘made to order’ breakfast each morning.    Hotel rooms must be reserved by October 15th, 2011.  Beginning Monday, October 25, convention registration will only be available on-site.  The 2010 convention was a huge success and we look forward to seeing you again this year at Embassy Suites in Murfreesboro for this year’s event!
