TRPA 75th Annual Conference

November 2, 2026 - November 5, 2026

Description

Tennessee's Premier Educational and Networking Event for Parks and Recreation Professionals.  

November 2-5, 2026 - Franklin Marriott Cool Springs, Franklin, TN.


Meet Our Keynote Speaker


Carlos Whittaker is a best-selling author, expert storyteller, and impactful speaker to all kinds of audiences– from auditors to teachers to non-profit leaders to dermatologists. No matter who you are, his message is for you.

Carlos uses his vast and varied personal life experience to captivate and engage audiences in ways that few else can. Whether your team is suffering from burnout, conflict, distraction, or disengagement, Carlos is sure to reinvigorate them with insight, humor, and inspiration.

With his person-oriented talks, How to Human and Moment Maker, Carlos will remind your organization that when we are good to ourselves, we can be even better for others. Humans do not exist in the vacuum of the workplace, so when we address the things going on in the background, we create a greater capacity for relationships, work, creativity, and patience.

Carlos will equip your team to become not just better employees, but better coworkers, leaders, friends, parents, spouses, and, most importantly, better humans. Join Carlos and countless others in the pursuit of being human together.
