SOCIAL EVENTS

The USPTA is bringing its hallmark World Conference home to the City Beautiful—Orlando—Sept. 24-28, 2023. With its glittering skyline of palm trees and neon-lit attractions and a cityscape full of theme parks and luxurious adventures, the USPTA’s hometown makes for the perfect location to celebrate the sport we all love so dearly.

Set in the heart of Orlando at the grandiose Rosen Shingle Creek, this year’s World Conference will be framed by towering palm trees and sprawling lakes. Its magnificent meeting spaces and tennis courts bring practicality to the gorgeous ambiance of Central Florida. The Rosen Shingle Creek offers on-site dining, with a dozen restaurants that include the award-winning steak house, A Land Remembered. Those who love to indulge in golf when not on court will find a lot to love about the on-site Shingle Creek Golf Club. Crafted by the prestigious Arnold Palmer Design Company, this classic course harkens back to the golden age of golf course design. World Conference attendees will be provided a special $49 rate to experience the course.

The USPTA is hosting many events during the conference, beginning Sunday night, when we’re shuttling attendees to Andretti Indoor Karting & Games. At an attraction that exemplifies Orlando’s exciting atmosphere, this twohour event includes finger foods, highspeed go-karts, arcade games and a cash bar. As much time as we’ll get to spend discussing racquet sports throughout the week, we also want to emphasize the fun and camaraderie of our industry in ways that allow attendees to step off the court and socialize.

We’re bringing our buzzing Merchandise and Trade Show to Monday, a networking breakfast to Tuesday and will honor our fellow pros at the Awards Luncheon on Wednesday. All our events will include delicious food, so you can meet your networking needs while you eat.

We would not properly be embracing the Sunshine State without some time in the sun, so Wednesday is set to bring attendees to our Poolside Party. A social event scheduled for sunset at one of the Rosen Shingle Creek’s four outdoor pools, this event is set to blend networking and relaxation while taking in the beauty of our destination and resort.

Many of our events are on-site this year, and we’re providing transportation to the one that is just around the corner from the hotel. We’re excited to see all our attendees engage with one another throughout these events, all in between the conference’s five days full of tennis. We hope to see you for tons of fun this September in Florida!*
