The recreation technology leader brings together trusted brands, expanded expertise, and a full suite of solutions under one umbrella.
The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) Annual Conference is one of the recreation industry’s most influential events, bringing together thousands of parks and recreation professionals, municipal leaders, and technology partners from across North America to share ideas, discover solutions, and explore what’s next for their communities.
This year’s event marked a significant milestone for Xplor Recreation.
Bringing our brands together under one banner at NRPA and showcasing the strength of the broader portfolio, marked an important moment for Xplor Recreation. Attendees had the opportunity to explore solutions from Xplor Recreation’s portfolio, including Vermont Systems, RecDesk, and nextRec, while gaining a clearer understanding of how those solutions are designed to serve the diverse needs of parks and recreation agencies, municipalities, community centers, camps, and other recreation organizations.
For recreation professionals, that meant more than seeing multiple software platforms side by side. It meant access to a broader ecosystem of expertise, technology, and support designed to help organizations find solutions that fit their unique goals, operational requirements, and community needs.
“What I saw on the show floor and throughout the conference was an enthusiastic team coming together: collaborating across brands, engaging customers and prospects with a solution-based consultative approach, articulating the value we bring as a combined entity, and showing why we are the right partner for every organization,” said Patrick Hayden, President of Recreation. “This was a real-world representation of how we are stronger together.“
While each product brand maintained its unique identity and expertise, the event showcased something new: the collective strength of Xplor Recreation and its ability to help organizations find the right-fit solution for their needs.
Bringing More Choice to Recreation Organizations
Recreation organizations face different challenges depending on their size, community, and operational complexity. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, Xplor Recreation brings together multiple recreation technology solutions that allow organizations to choose the platform that best aligns with their goals.
At NRPA, attendees explored solutions across the Xplor Recreation while gaining a clearer understanding of how those solutions fit within a broader recreation technology ecosystem. The portfolio supports more than 7,000 recreation organizations across 17 countries.
“We showed up aligned, equipped to position Xplor Recreation’s full suite of solutions,” said Stewart Aguanno, Vice President of Sales, Xplor Recreation. “Our ability to position Xplor as the only provider that can partner with communities to find the right-fit solution, rather than push a one-size-fits-all offering, was a clear differentiator.“
A Stronger Future for Recreation
As recreation organizations continue to modernize operations, enhance participant experiences, and navigate evolving community expectations, Xplor Recreation is committed to delivering the technology, expertise, and flexibility needed to support them every step of the way.
