There are so many reasons to attend POMA’s 2025 Annual Meeting. Here’s why some of our board members attend:
"POMA's Annual Meeting is a great opportunity for networking. It's also an immersive experience with opportunities to create marketable content, connect with brands, secure sponsorships and leave with stories ready to be published. I really enjoy the field trips, where I can capture high-quality content to be pitched to publications and used as social media content."
- Britney Booth, POMA 1st Vice President
"Attending the POMA Annual Meeting pays dividends in many ways. From exploring new cities to intimate networking opportunities to world class field trips, attendees have no shortage of fun. Create content to your heart's desire, or get one-on-one time with top representatives of the outdoor industry. The POMA Annual Meeting is what you make it; it could even be a life-changing event!"
- Gabriella Hoffman, POMA Secretary
“I attend the POMA Annual Meetings for the invaluable networking opportunities and to connect with other professionals in the outdoor industry. My favorite activity is always Range Day since, working in the conservation space, I don’t get to the range as often as many of my peers. It’s a great chance to test new gear, sharpen my shooting skills and enjoy the hands-on experience.”
- Zack Vucurevich, POMA Treasurer
“POMA offers an opportunity like no other in the outdoor communicators’ space to meet and network with other outdoor media personnel. Attending in person, you get to spend quality time with the membership that includes editors, photographers, television producers and podcasters as well as influencers. In addition to this, seminars and workshops that assist with perfecting your craft are what led me into podcasting as well as helped to make me better as an outdoor communicator.”
- Pete Rogers, POMA Director
POMA’s 2025 Annual Meeting will be held at Maumee Bay Lodge & Conference Center, hosted by Destination Toledo. The annual gathering of the nation’s top outdoor journalists and supporting outdoor companies will kick off Monday, June 23, and conclude Wednesday, June 25.
