Attending the KORE Summit last year was a fantastic way to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for the outdoor industry. It provided an excellent opportunity to showcase my business while also learning about innovative companies within our region and beyond.

The Summit exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s a rare opportunity to be able to connect with, and learn from, so many people within the outdoor industry so easily. A conference of this quality anywhere else would be five times the price. The Summit is a game changer for small businesses in the Kootenays.

The KORE Summit was my single best networking and professional development event of the year. Such a great variety of content and attendees made it a very worthy way to spend a couple of days. Also, it was so fantastic to spend time in Kimberly and be so close to great recreation opportunities.
