  • Costs: minimal (depending on content need)
  • Notes: Space is extremely limited.

23. NW Overland Rally | Leavenworth, WA | June 28-July 1

  • Notes: This event is growing rapidly. This year, Land Rover NA, Overland Journal, Outside Magazine and others are buying in. The smart move here is to set up next to one of our brand partners and create a killer compound.

24. Summer Content Trip | Northern WA State > Southern B.C. | July 2–11

Join the the #wndrlst crew as we wind our way through the Northern portion of the WABDR, cross the border and eventually land at the BC Overland Rally.

They will be shooting lifestyle video and posting to social media as we go and then each brand will receive either brand-exclusive or multi-brand shared content depending on their needs/budgets. If you haven’t already seen them, sample lifestyle videos are on our Vimeo page here and here.

25. BC Overland Rally | Sasquatch Resort, Hemlock Valley BC | July 12–15

  • Notes: this is a young, rapidly growing event hosted by the same promoter who puts on the NW Overland Rally.

26. Mountain Bike Oregon (July)| Oakridge, OR | July 14–16

  • Notes: This is a fun event for vendors. It is a small event (attendance is only ~450) but it is an aspirational demographic who’ve all paid $450+ each to be there. It’s a captured audience who are all in the beer garden together from 4–10pm Fri and Sat nights after a full day of shredding. Endorphins are running and spirits are high.
  • mangai.rollin has worked this event since 2008. It’s best to come to this event ready to ride so that you can be on the same endorphin high as the attendees.

27. Road to OR | Seattle, WA > Denver, Co| July 20–22

  • Multiple #adventuremobiles rolling from the PNW to Outdoor Retailer in SLC. Professional video crew and multiple social media influencers on-board. They will be shooting lifestyle video and posting to social media as we go and then each brand will receive either brand-exclusive or multi-brand shared content depending on their needs/budgets. If you haven’t already seen them, sample lifestyle videos are on our Vimeo page here and here.
  • This road trip and lifestyle shoot will be similar in structure to the road trip to OX. Filming locations in the past have included the Salt Flats, the Alvord Desert and City of Rocks.

28. Outdoor Retailer — Summer Market | Denver, CO| July 22–26

Open Air Demo — TBD — July 22

Main Trade Show — Denver, CO — July 23–26

  • Attendance: 30,000+
  • Notes: This is a moderately expensive event. That said, with brand partners and with the complimentary pre and post events, we believe it to be a good investment.

29. Post_OR GetDown| 2018 Location TBD | July 26–27

Over the last few years, we’ve heard folks at OR lament about how close they were to the goods, but how they couldn’t get out to play. We decided to address that. Now in its second year, DW provides an option for folks to get out and enjoy the outdoors immediately after Outdoor Retailer. We coordinate the location and access to mountain bikes, kayaks, paddleboards and great hiking options. We also invite local athletes and outdoors folk to serve as guides. This is a low-key hangout. No agendas. No BS.

  • Camping fees are a nominal amount pp.
  • Bring your own food and drink. Grills & camp kitchens will be provided. You might be asked to wash dishes.
  • Notes: This an opportunity for other brands to get a chance to use your gear and get to know you personally.

Camping, hiking, MTB, SUP, and 4x4 in beautiful Bend, OR with your tribe from the outdoor industry.

31. Outside Lands Music Festival | San Francisco, CA | August 11–13

Be a part of the Camp Curated display. Inquire for more information.

32. Crankworx Whistler | Whistler, B.C. | August 10–19

World famous, 10 day gravity mountain bike festival. This is a special event as it takes place in a bustling tourist destination. Optimal placement is within Whistler Village itself.

  • Attendance: 150,000+
  • Notes: This is an expensive, time consuming event. Do not consider this event until you are ready for a multi-year commitment with a larger set of industry partners. That said, smaller brands can achieve considerable results here with carefully crafted guerrilla campaigns.

47. SEMA | Las Vegas, NV | October 30 — November 2

  • Attendance: 170,000, Industry Professionals: 70,00 Buyers: 3,500 Qualified Media
  • Notes: We’d advise that the team of brand partners approach this event with the mindset of placing a vehicle (or vehicles) in either the featured vehicle area or in the booth(s) of much larger vendor partners. This is an extremely expensive event to do in a manner that will be remembered. We find ROI to be greater when funds are more strategically spent. That said, SEMA is valuable when we work together with brand partners to participate regularly and strategically.
