ASEC 2022 Launch
In association with the Kendal Mountain Festival, Shane Ohly of Ourea Events and James Thurlow of Open Adventure and Open Tracking are hosting the second Adventure Sports Events Conference (ASEC) on Friday 18th November 2022.
ASEC is held on a not-for-profit basis for the benefit of all adventure sport event organisers. Whether you are a charity event organiser, giant commercial event, or community race, ASEC is the only event specifically for you. Surely a date for the diary!
ASEC is also held on the day before the renowned Kendal Mountain Festival bursts into life for the weekend. So, after attending the conference, delegates have the opportunity to spend the weekend in Kendal watching the best adventure sport films, listening to inspiring speakers and socialising with the wider outdoor community. The Kendal Mountain Festival 10k Trail Run takes place on Saturday morning, so don’t forget your trail running shoes!
The inaugural ASEC held last year received widespread acclaim from delegates, and you can read a summary of the day in the archive. Building on this momentum, we have an impressive line-up of speakers for 2022 that will provide another set of expert perspectives on some of the challenges faced by adventure sport event organisers.
Our speakers Include:
Matt Neale, Lead Ranger, Yorkshire Dales National Park
Dave Robinson, Access and Recreation Officer, Loch Lomond National Park
Damian Hall, Elite Ultra Runner
Dr Charlotte Hattersley, Event Medical Director
Lucy Speakman, Director Outdoor UK, adidas
Chris Barnes QC, Exchange Chambers
The full conference programme covers a diverse range of subjects affecting and influencing adventure sport event organisers, and the day will conclude with a panel session, allowing the conference to discuss and reflect on the day’s presentations.
