Delegate bookings for the Outdoor Industries Association’s (OIA) annual Conference and AGM are now open.
During the two-day event, there will be influential keynote speakers in key areas that impact the outdoor industry, while having the opportunity to network with colleagues from a variety of organisations. There will also be the chance to take part in a series of educational breakout sessions and outdoor activities.
Next year’s event will take place on March 13-14, 2019, at Shrigley Hall Hotel in Cheshire. This fantastic venue nestled on the edge of The Peak District worked extremely well for 2018, with its combined hotel and conference facilities, and close transport links.
The OIA are currently building an exciting and diverse range of speakers for the conference and have so far secured an outstanding line up to deliver keynote presentations over the two days.
They include:
Liz McMahon, Madison Muir Trust: Is Your Brand Your Brand? Brand management in this fake news and social media world
Dan Raven-Ellison, London National City Park, Guerrilla Geographer & Creative Explorer: How to Join the National Park City Movement
Ben Saunders, Polar Explorer & Record-Breaking Long-Distance Skier
Frederic Hufkens, A.S. Adventure: “Pass on Plastic” – Why the outdoor industries need to take a lead on the fight against single-use plastics.
OIA members and non-members are welcome to attend the conference. For more information and to book please visit the OIA website or please email bookings@theoia.co.uk
