American Therapeutic Recreation Association (ATRA) 2025 San Antonio

American Therapeutic Recreation Association (ATRA) 2025 San Antonio is organized by American Therapeutic Recreation Association (ATRA) and will be held from Oct 17 - 20, 2025 at Menger Hotel, San Antonio, Texas, United States of America.

Description:
ATRA's annual conference is the largest gathering of Recreational Therapists in the country, and we're excited to embrace the tides of change with a fresh approach to our cherished in-person event. It's everything you know and love about our annual conference—focused to elevate what unites us.

The field of Recreational Therapy is evolving, and so is how we come together to learn, collaborate, and shape the future of our profession. ATRA is committed to providing innovative, evidence-based learning opportunities for recreational therapists, and that means leaning into change. For 2025, we’re embracing a summit-style approach to our annual conference—a dynamic, immersive experience designed to foster deeper connection with the key issues impacting us all: higher education, research and evidence-based practice, practice issues, and legislation and licensure.

Summit-Style Event
Attendees can expect a balance of general sessions and focused breakout discussions, all designed to foster meaningful conversations and collaborative learning. General sessions will explore key issues—from licensure and policy to evidence-based practice—that impact all recreational therapists, while breakout sessions will provide opportunities to dive deeper into these critical topics in smaller, interactive settings. This summit is about elevating what unites us—the shared challenges and opportunities shaping the future of RT.

What to Expect:
Connection. Balance. Voice.
ATRA San Antonio prioritizes togetherness through shared learning experiences (general sessions), while also offering breakout sessions that explore key issues in greater depth, ensuring that all attendees find value and agency in the discussions.

The Future of RT Starts Here! We're looking forward to connecting with you in San Antonio!
