Rebrand You: A New Wave Begins in Hawaii – Why WRC25 Will Transform Your Career
Imagine this: you wake up to a golden Hawaiian sunrise, step out onto your balcony, and breathe in ocean air that energizes you for the day ahead. You grab your notebook and coffee, ready to fill those pages with insights, strategies, and connections that will transform your career for years to come.
That’s what awaits you at WRC25, the Racquet Sports Professionals Association’s World Racquets Conference, taking place September 21-25, 2025, at the Outrigger Kona Resort & Spa in beautiful Kona, Hawaii.
Last year, we rebranded ourselves as an association, uniting all racquet sports under one powerful identity. This year, it’s about rebranding you.
Our theme, “Rebrand You: A New Wave Begins in Hawaii,” is more than a slogan – it’s a commitment to equipping you to become a stronger, bolder, and more future-ready version of yourself. Whether you’re an instructor, director, general manager, or business owner, this conference will give you the tools, confidence, and relationships to step forward into the next chapter of your professional journey.
