FitNation brings together for the first time 33 projects in 15 states and the District of Columbia that showcase the ways design, policy, and grassroots strategies are promoting physical activity as part of daily life.

The opening will feature an exciting Architectural Ping Pong tournament with a table provided by Poppin: a beautiful confluence of design and active recreation. Poppin is also offering an exclusive 15% discount at Poppin.com for attendees (coupon code: AIANY)*.
