There are so many reasons to attend POMA’s Summit in Hugo, MN on May 26-28. Here’s why some of our board members attend:
“The POMA Summit is where relationships turn into real opportunities. I leave every year with new contacts, fresh story ideas and partnerships that directly impact my bottom line. If you’re serious about growing as an outdoor communicator, this is the room you need to be in. The access to brands, the hands-on content opportunities and the conversations you can’t get anywhere else make the Summit invaluable.”
Britney Booth, POMA President
“This year’s POMA Summit is a must-attend event. From networking to outdoor excursions, come join your fellow members for an immersive and impactful week in Minnesota. Attending the Summit could even be life changing, as it was for me in 2019. Register to not miss out!”
Gabriella Hoffman, POMA 2nd Vice President
“Every time I attend POMA’s Summit, I leave with fresh ideas, stronger relationships and content that continues to pay off long after the event ends. If you’re serious about growing in this industry, you need to be there.”
Meagan McDow, POMA Secretary
“POMA was the ‘foot in the door’ I needed to establish my voice in the outdoor media space. The networking events at the Summit allowed a novice like me to sit face to face with editors and corporate partners to sell myself and build trust. Something that's becoming increasingly difficult to do in the changing media environment. I'm forever thankful I attended my first conference so many years back.”
Zack Vucurevich, POMA Treasurer
“POMA is a place where you can truly develop a relationship with someone in the outdoor industry, and not just create a contact. Each year I have attended POMA, we developed business relationships that have stayed the course and grown over time. ROI is stellar!”
Bill Brod, POMA Director
“POMA's Summit has been the most fruitful event we’ve attended. The networking is intimate, the connections are genuine and you miss the fluff and buzz from all the tradeshow noise. These annual meet ups have been insightful, meaningful and priceless in our long term mission.”
Cush Arrue, POMA Director
“For me, POMA’s annual Summit is one the best chances to get my brand in front of dozens of outdoor media in one setting. I can meet newer writers and creators, build relationships for future work and have the time to tell my brand’s story without the distraction and frenzied pace of a trade show. Attending the POMA Summit is one of the best investments an outdoor recreation manufacturer can make.”
Allen Forkner, POMA Corporate Partner Director
“The POMA Summit is where the voices of the outdoor industry come together; connecting storytellers, brands and innovators who share a passion for the outdoors. It’s more than an event, it’s a place to build relationships, spark ideas and shape the future of outdoor media.”
Rob Shane, POMA Corporate Partner Director
