Learn more: Switchback & Outdoor Industry Association
Switchback and Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) formed a strategic partnership to strengthen the impact, effectiveness, and attendance of the twice-annual gathering. OIA is the Official Event Partner of Switchback.
Debuting at Switchback Spring this June 16-18 in Nashville, TN, the year-round partnership will be a key tool in supporting industry connections and growth.
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.
As the Official Event Partner, OIA will collaborate with Switchback to:
Enhance the event with key learnings from leading outdoor industry data, legacy knowledge of essential and emerging issues, and deep connections throughout the outdoor industry community.
Contribute to and recommend educational sessions and speakers, host special events, and support industry initiatives.
Provide OIA members with discounted exhibitor rates at Switchback events beginning in 2025, in addition to the broad range of benefits already included in their annual memberships.
Stay tuned: Over the coming weeks, Switchback and OIA will share more information about the partnership and what to expect at the debut Switchback Spring.

“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."
