SIA Summit Series Returns, with First Event in Colorado

Snowsports Industries America (SIA), the preeminent organization representing the winter outdoor industry, is delighted to announce the launch of its eagerly anticipated Summit Series. This innovative event series signals a much anticipated return to face-to-face gatherings and the desire to come together to tackle some of the most pressing issues facing the industry.

This unique series of four events will bring leaders and professionals from the winter outdoor industry together with experts, game changers and trail blazers, in the form of dynamic workshops, vibrant discussions and engaging presentations.

“We are thrilled to introduce the 2023 SIA Summit Series, which represents a significant opportunity for our industry,” said Nick Sargent, president of SIA. “We have heard loud and clear from our members the desire to come together in person to rekindle relationships, share insights, and work collaboratively to address common concerns.”

Set against inspiring backdrops, the Summit Series kicks off in Golden, Colorado (Thurs., Sept. 28) with subsequent stops in Boston, MA (Thurs., Nov. 2), Park City, Utah (Spring 24) and Seattle, WA (Spring 24), Events will feature engaging sessions that focus on addressing and solving the most pressing industry issues, including:
