This year’s social is sponsored by Matrix Fitness and takes us to the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Kansas City Royals baseball game at Tropicana Field!

Attendees of the 2026 NIRSA Florida State Summit will experience the game from the exclusive RIPA Bullpen Box, a private, on-field party area reserved just for our group. Located right alongside the Rays bullpen, you’ll be close enough to hear the phone ring when the call comes in and cheer on your favorite pitcher as he heads into the game.

To top it off, Matrix is providing each attendee with a $20 Rays voucher to use toward food or merchandise.

Tickets are limited to the first 85 registrants, secure your spot early by clicking YES in your conference registration!
