The Summit

Welcome

At Outside, we’re on a mission to get everyone outside. The Summit is an annual gathering that connects and enriches a growing mainstream community of professionals who believe that feeling joy in the outdoors is a fundamental human right. Join global leaders from across the outdoor industry and government to discuss the innovative business practices, technological advances, and surprising collaborations that are propelling a new era of creativity, equity, and sustainability.

This is a place for the prominent stakeholders, the career veterans, and the up-and-comers to gather in one place and set a vision for the future, together.
