Presentation topics include staff development, marketing, technology, budgeting, and institutional support. Other areas include running various aspects of the business of outdoor programs including rental center operations.
Risk Management and Wilderness Medicine
This track is intended to improve preparedness for crisis and medical situations and provide updates in the wilderness medicine field. Presentation topics include writing risk management plans, revising policies and procedures, legal advice, and updates to wilderness medicine.
Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability
This track provides meaningful instruction and discussion pertaining to outdoor ethics, minimizing carbon emissions/footprint, and conservation.

Presentations include topics ranging from logistical planning and permitting to technical skills and backcountry cooking. This track also includes presentations on specific types of trips such as international trips and orientation programs.
