Enjoy being social in the outdoors
Our events are designed to be the best possible experience for everyone involved. Everything is taken care of, from accommodation to food and drink, so that you can focus on having a great learning experience while you’re with us and remember everything you’ve taken in when you leave. Best of all you get to learn where you will enjoy it the most in the outdoors gaining essential hands-on experience.
Education through real life experience
We work closely with brands and partners to provide the best theory and practical sessions across a wide range of outdoor topics. From basic map reading skills, using outdoor equipment properly in the right settings to how different footwear responds to different conditions. This will give you increased knowledge, in a fun outdoor environment, to take back with you and help inform customers to make the right choice for their equipment needs.
Build Relationships Friendly and Social
It’s not all about learning – that’s where and Social comes in. We believe that it is essential for people to get together and share their experiences and thoughts on all kinds of topics. A host of informative speakers will entertain you and spark debate. Also, brands and retail staff can meet in a social setting, put names to faces, and make future dealings even more friendly and easier to improve both businesses. We will help you network and develop.
