Planning The Next Symposium
Submitted by kentford on Wed, 03/05/2008 - 20:12.We've held the Symposium annually for 5 years now, but we have decided to try a two-year cycle for the next event, which will be in 2009. Our decision is based on a few factors:
Alternating years could improve the industry’s commitment to the Symposium.
Going to a two-year planning cycle will allow us to market the event more effectively to whitewater paddlers and the whitewater industry.
There’s a possibility of making the Symposium into an international event.
The extra year of planning will give us extra time to plan a top quality event.
Contact us if you would like to receive the RFP for hosting the Whitewater Symposium in 2009.
