A Look Back at

f you're one of the many health and physical education professionals who attended the 2022 SHAPE America National Convention & Expo, you probably have some favorite memories of your time in New Orleans. What a week! It was great to connect in person, get inspired, and learn from top educators in the field. If you weren’t able to attend #SHAPENOLA, we hope you’ll join us next year for #SHAPEseattle (March 28 – April 1). Add the dates to your calendar and start planning now!
Keynote speakers Jessica Bartley, Chris Nikic and Sylvia Crawley inspired attendees at the convention’s Opening and Closing General Sessions.
Future professionals, K-12 teachers, and members of the higher ed community from around the country were thrilled to gather for in-person professional development and networking! Spring 2022 • Momentum
