Outdoor Economy Conference postponed

Due to the Delta variant’s continued impact on public health, the Outdoor Economy Conference originally scheduled for Oct. 12-15 has been postponed until April 2-7, 2022 — but other opportunities to connect with the outdoor community will be scheduled in the meantime.

The first of these opportunities is a digital Building Outdoor Communities workshop set for the afternoons of the original core conference dates, Oct. 13-14. The workshop will help outdoor communities across Western North Carolina and throughout the nation meet this shared moment, with a focus on economic recovery, resilience, inclusive access and place-based culture creation.

Registration for the Oct. 13-14 workshop is $50. Registered conference attendees will get a free pass to this and other content over the next six months. Sign up at www.outdooreconomy.org/boc21.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
