“We really enjoyed the conference and found the whole thing really informative and useful. We will definitely be looking at the way we do things and tweaking them to improve where we can. All the speakers and subjects covered were very interesting and relevant and I’d be keen to attend again next year”.

— Chloe Rafferty, Loveswimrun


“Last Friday I was at the Adventure Sports Conference organised by James Thurlow and Shane Ohly. It was a great day of best practice knowledge sharing on everything from timing and technology, stakeholder management and SOPs to sponsorship. There were representatives from the biggest event organisers in the UK as well as plenty of smaller ones. We were all in a traditional sense "competition" yet everyone was there to learn and share.”

— Sam Heward, Ultra X


"Attending the inaugural ASEC was a highly valuable experience which I'd recommend to anyone working in this event space. As well as reiterating the importance of several key points pertinent to my role as a Race Director, I learned several new things and came away from the conference with a rejuvenated sense of purpose and drive, thanks to a day spent networking with equally passionate, like-minded event professionals."

— Michael Jones, UK Event Director at UTMB®
