QAS 2026



QAS 2026 set for February 28, 2026

The 31th Annual Quiet Adventures Symposium will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026 at the MSU Farm Bureau Pavilion (4301 Farm Lane, Lansing, MI, on the Michigan State University campus) between 9:00 am and 5:30 pm. We had to change from the first weekend in March due to Pavilion scheduling. The Symposium is hosted by the nonprofit Quiet Adventures Society, formerly the Quiet Water Society.
