Members of the broader climbing industry often attend: association representatives, manufacturers, distributors, competition organizers, coaches, and guides. While many sessions cover advanced topics, the Summit is a fertile learning ground for those about to start a climbing venture or begin a career in the industry.
Concurrent sessions concerning research and trends, business development, marketing, retail development, climbing instruction, standards, risk management, and responsible climbing wall operations. Pre-Conference workshops provide hands-on roll-up-your-sleeves training on topics such as Instructor Certification, building risk management tools, business planning and technical skills like route setting. Preview the workshops and sessions.
Each year attendees comment about how much they learn from each other. They also tell us that being immersed with the industry’s top professionals ups their game, drive, and creativity. 2012 schedules more time for networking with peers, meeting vendors, visiting top-rate climbing facilities, and reconnecting with the common ground that compels us into the climbing realm. Each day features special events, activities, entertainment and gatherings for attendees
