FEATURED FILM SCREENING & PANEL: Best Day Ever: A Blueprint for Building More Inclusive Outdoor Communities

Jun 16 2026

4:30 PM - 5:45 PM CST

New Orleans Theater B

Run Time: 45 Minutes  

Join us for a 45-minute screening of the award-winning short film Best Day Ever, followed by a conversation about ways the outdoor industry can move beyond intention and into action when it comes to outdoor access and inclusion. The film follows adaptive riders Greg Durso and Allie Bianchi as they navigate life after spinal cord injuries with humor, grit, and independence, supported by a tight-knit Vermont trail community.

At its core, this isn’t just a story about adaptive trails and mountain biking; it’s a blueprint for building community and lowering barriers to entry in meaningful, lasting ways. The panel will explore what it takes to create truly welcoming outdoor experiences, from trail systems and retail environments to product development – and how small, thoughtful changes can have an outsized impact on individuals and communities. Expect an honest, interactive conversation designed to spark ideas, challenge assumptions, and leave attendees with tangible ways to build more inclusive outdoor spaces.

Popcorn, beer, and other refreshments will be served during the special screening. You won’t want to miss it!

More panelist information coming soon!
