It's On
WE'RE EXCITED TO LAUNCH

Outdoor Retailer Online this
week. This new adventure is accessible from wherever you are-
your workspace, your store, your
van, or even your couch.
We are truly missing our time
together this summer. There's so
much value when we connect face
to face. We build relationships,
and it's how we help our industry
grow. That's why we've created this
online platform. It's important to
still have the ability to meet, even
if virtually, especially now.
This is our first foray into a
digital show and a solution for the
industry right now. We will learn
this week and continue to enhance
the technology and offerings
with your input. With this great
opportunity to evolve, we want
to design future live events and
digital integration around what is
most important to you.
Outdoor Retailer Online begins
with three days of live education

O N L I N E

and events. From there, and
all throughout the summer,
it becomes a tool to discover
new brands and products,
and to schedule and host
virtual meetings.
This is more than a
three-day event. The
booths are open, and the
education is available
through Aug. 31.
We're all adapting to new
modes of work. And adapting means being ready and
willing to make changes,
evolving into what's next,
and innovating-it's the
spirit that fuels our industry.
We're pushed forward
by hope, and, at the same
time, equipping others to
find hope in the outdoors.
It's been incredible to see so many
people seeking nature in recent
months. In education sessions this
week, you'll learn strategies to
keep the momentum.
As we work to reach a growing
audience, it's imperative we do so
on a path defined by diversity and
inclusion. We must ensure our industry not only reaches everyone,
but serves everyone.
Join the conversations this
week to keep thinking, learning,
and reinforcing your commitment to change. We hope you
end the week inspired and full of
optimism, feeling as we do when
we get together in person. We look
forward to seeing you virtually.
