The Impact of a Rapidly Changing World on Our Industry

We have chosen this theme because it is relevant to every one of us - regardless of age, nationality, or sector.

For some within our industry, guiding others through periods of change is their expertise. It's their business.

Our conference provides an ideal opportunity to share experiences, exchange ideas, and learn from one another as we navigate an increasingly dynamic world together.

We are delighted to welcome several distinguished speakers who will bring fresh perspectives, practical insights, and thought-provoking ideas. Their contributions promise to inform, inspire, and entertain, making this a conference that offers lasting value for everyone attending.

Join us for a leading event in the ropes course and outdoor adventure industry, bringing together professionals from across Europe for networking, knowledge sharing and innovation. Check the ticket fees.

As always, the conference will offer a wide range of formats, networking opportunities and industry insights, including:
*** Tue 24 November 2026: Full Conference Day and Evening Programme
*** Wed 25 November 2026: Half Conference Day with departure after lunch.

Industry leading product exhibition running across Tuesday and Wednesday.
