The SERR conference

The Southeast Environment and Recreation Research (SERR) conference provides an exceptional opportunity for researchers and managers within the parks, recreation and environmental management fields to learn about and discuss each other's projects, research findings, and regional needs. The conference setting supports both formal presentations and informal discussions in a setting that emphasizes student engagement and development, in addition to the friendly exchange of research theories and practices.

Conference venue and lodging

We're located in downtown Asheville, walking distance to more than 200 locally-owned restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues, and less than 10 minutes from the Historic Biltmore Estate. There are multiple tap rooms to discover in Asheville's vibrant craft brewery scene, or you can kick back in our rooftop bar after a day’s hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
