Friday, March 11

Lumbersexual chic, National Park initiatives aimed at cities, the proliferation of technology for finding outdoor experiences. Outdoor recreation has ceased to be a fringe community of rock climbers living out of their cars and has moved into the mainstream, reaching what seems to be the opposite of wilderness: our cities (and of course the millennial culture-makers that reside there). Today hear from experts at the forefront of connecting the outdoor industry with its growing urban base. Each panelist brings a unique view from tech to retail to online content creation on how to approach this new market, which is changing both city culture and the definition of “sports” culture.
