The Outdoors Forum is the annual event that unifies the outdoors sector and gives us an opportunity to learn, collaborate, discuss and recognise achievement.

The theme for this years forum is Outdoor Recreation 2030, what is this likely to look like and how can we shape it? This years programme includes presentations on marketing, technology, advocacy, diversity, workforce, social networking, safety, outdoor education, land access and heaps of other perspectives and phenomena that will shape outdoor recreation in the years to come.
