Our industry is constantly changing as is the way consumers shop, connect, and interact with the brands they have an affinity for. SURF SUMMIT 21 will engage in open and honest discussions from thought-leaders, industry execs, and attendees about what the future holds and the tools we need to better prepare our brands and culture.
We are currently witnessing consolidation and a paradigm shift towards consumer centric. All the while, our sport’s culture remains “cool and authentic” as we see gains in global awareness, acceptance and participation. Plus, we look toward the future with the Olympics, the emergence of surf parks, and increased media viewership. At SURF SUMMIT 21 we will address these and other relevant topics that will help shape the future of our industry and culture.
Don’t miss this opportunity to play a vital role in the discussions and lessons that will move our industry – and your brand – forward. Register for SURF SUMMIT 21 today!
Deadline to register is Monday, April 16th.
