Switchback and the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) have deepened their strategic partnership, building on the relationship announced in fall 2024 to further strengthen the impact, effectiveness, and attendance of the twice-annual gathering.
As the Official Event Partner of Switchback, OIA’s expanded role also reflects a broader, industry-wide goal to support and advance the outdoor community.
Switchback and OIA will work together to welcome specialty retailers, brands, organizations, and media with a vested interest in foundational outdoor experiences – time on the trail, at the campsite, and as part of the year-round outdoor lifestyle.

“The number one request I hear from both long-time veterans of our industry and the rising next generation is ‘give us a great place to gather.’ The Switchback team has a proven track record of success, and we’re excited to collaborate with them on growing an event that can deliver multiple benefits to a wide range of outdoor industry members."
