Campus Recreation
Tennessee Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (TIRSA) is a leader in higher education and the advocate for the advancement of recreation, sport and wellness by providing educational and developmental opportunities, generating and sharing knowledge, and promoting networking and growth for our members.
The annual TIRSA conference is the leading event for hundreds of Tennessee collegiate recreation professionals, students and vendors. We convene to learn and network, as well as explore the latest in programming, products and services for collegiate recreation.
Call for Presentation Proposals
TIRSA invites campus recreation professionals to submit presentation proposals for our 2026 conference, themed “Stronger Together: Leading the Next Generation of Recreation.” We’re seeking engaging sessions that highlight collaboration, innovation, staff development, student success, facility operations, wellness, outdoor recreation, and emerging trends that strengthen our statewide recreation community.
Whether you’ve launched a successful program, developed a creative partnership, improved operations, or have insights that can elevate campus recreation across Tennessee, we want to hear from you. Share your expertise and help shape a conference focused on connection, growth, and collective impact.
Submit your proposal and help TIRSA continue building a stronger, more unified recreation network across the state.
