OWAA Conference

OWAA is heading to the southeastern outdoor mecca of Chattanooga! Save the dates of August 19-21, 2025 (be sure to leave room for some pre- and post-tours too) and plan to join us in The Volunteer State.

Outdoor media and other professionals attend OWAA’s annual conference to connect, mingle and learn from more than 250 outdoor storytellers – and the brands that support their work. They will network with other professionals, hone communications skills, find mentors/mentees and discover more and better ways to sell their work or promote their brand.

Conference attendees meet with some of the best outdoor communicators in the country and absorb presentations on writing and editing, photography and videography, broadcast and digital media, the latest tech and newest tactics, and more. Delegates also join pre- and post-tours  to get the latest story on (and shots of) outdoor adventures in the region, be it hiking, climbing, hunting or other outdoor pursuits.
