Rendezvous isn’t your typical conference—it’s a thoughtfully crafted experience that combines peer-led experiential learning with plenty of open space to foster meaningful conversations and connections. To help you make the most of your time with the PPI community, we’ve also curated some amazing social and networking activities before and after the main event.
These optional events are perfect for deepening relationships, exploring the local area, and extending the spirit of Rendezvous beyond the scheduled sessions.
Take a look before you book your flight—you won’t want to miss them!
Kick off the conference with energy, connection, and impact! Join us for a pre-conference volunteer experience — a chance to do something meaningful before the sessions even begin. We’ll start the morning with coffee and great conversation at a nearby café, then head out together to serve the local community. It’s the perfect way to meet inspiring people early, build real connections, and arrive at the conference already part of something bigger. Come for the coffee, stay for the camaraderie, and leave knowing you made a difference.
