Before you arrive in Seattle/Bellevue for the NSPRA 2024 National Seminar, join us on the ROAD2NSPRA!
ROAD2NSPRA is our annual pre-Seminar countdown designed for registrants to connect, ask questions, learn more about the event and host city, and more.
Join in the ROAD2NSPRA fun this year for a chance to win prizes, network with other attendees and hear more about how to make the most of your NSPRA 2024 experience.
We can't wait to welcome an estimated 1,500+ attendees to the NSPRA 2024 National Seminar.
All photos will be used to create a digital mosaic, and some will be on display at the NSPRA 2024 National Seminar in Seattle-Bellevue. Participation does not require NSPRA 2024 National Seminar attendance.

Each year, ROAD2NSPRA T-shirts are available to purchase with a unique design in a nod to the Seminar host city. This year's shirt is inspired by a design created by Claren McLaughlin and Jessica McCartney of the Washington SPRA chapter. All proceeds benefit the NSPRA Foundation, which funds a number of scholarships to the NSPRA National Seminar each year.
T-shirts are $25 (NSPRA 2024 attendees can pick up their shirt at the Seminar registration desk in Bellevue; non-Seminar attendees can have shirts shipped to them). Click the image to the right to view an enlarged graphic of this year's shirt and use the button below to order.

What is ROAD2NSPRA?
The ROAD2NSPRA initiative was launched in 2017 as a member-driven grassroots campaign to build pre-Seminar engagement. New in 2023, NSPRA is hosting the ROAD2NSPRA, building on the strong foundation and organic momentum established over the last five years, with immense thanks to the school PR professionals who started it, particularly longtime organizer Joshua Sauer, APR.
The first ROAD2NSPRA pre-Seminar countdown initiative began in 2017 in the leadup to the NSPRA 2017 National Seminar in San Antonio. The first ROAD2NSPRA logo (pictured below) included a nod to the Seminar's location, a tradition that carries on today with the annual ROAD2NSPRA logos.
