Speakers and Demonstrations
Full List of 35 speakers and demonstrators is available!
Here is our Schedule of Presentations and here are the Demonstrations, although we may have some changes. We selected across a set of themes, including canoeing, kayaking, biking, hiking, sailing, fly fishing, nature and more.
There have been two changes due to unforeseen circumstance:
In the Auditorium/ Main Stage: 9:30 am presentation slot will be filled by Collin Tarr - Trans Catalina Trail: Four Days Off the Coast of California"
In the Au Sable River Room: 9:30 am presentation slot will be filled by Jonathan Ahlbrand - Cold Water, Deadly Water: Understanding and Managing the Risks We hope that you enjoy these and wish Cory Maria Dack and Todd Poquette the best, hoping to see them next year.
