Conference - The Third International Conference "Outdoor Play"

1. Get to know us and get to know each other

Conferences are not only about talks, they’re about the community and the people who attend them. After the long wait to be able to meet in person again, we are organizing an international expert meeting, bringing together people from all different geographical areas, technical backgrounds, and cultural experiences.

What better place to share your ideas, get valuable feedback and connect with relevant people as a playground designer, manufacturer or playground inspector than at Playground conference.

2. Expand your knowledge, learn, and improve

This one is pretty clear but you can’t avoid the fact that conferences help you learn new things. Not only by listening to talks and presentations but by the complete experience of attending a event, this conference help you to better understand new trends and possibilities for using children's playgrounds as tourist attractions, urban elements, and symbols of cities.

You will hear a lot about things in your field that might be new to you and particularly for designers as well as for representatives of tourism organizations and local communities, municipalities, cities ...

These things could be new features, new Ideas, or learning from leaders on the playing industry, safety that you may not have previously heard of.

3. Get insights into the latest trends

If you’re interested in finding more about the latest findings in your field before they are even made public, then a developer conference is the place to be. Many speakers at these events will present their preliminary findings or work which has not yet been published. Consequently, this is a great chance to get a peek at what other people are working on and what are the current and upcoming trends. These ideas can be of great value for your own research and finding ways to optimize your daily work.

This Conference is the World Conference

We expect speakers and participants from all over the world, from Canada to Australia.

Apart from the educational or business part which surely makes you a better professional in what you do, you will wisit a new place, get to see a different city, try some new local food, and see local landmarks or tourist attractions.

Finally, as you can probably tell by now, we just can’t wait for our third edition of the Conference after corona break and since the last time we hung out back in 2018. We are sure this one is going to be our best Conference yet, so get ready and join us for the ride.

See you on October 23 2025 in Belgrade!
