TESTIMONIALS
We are excited to return to the 2024 KORE Summit. Last year was our first time attending and we found the networking for our business was priceless.
The KORE summit opened up doors I didn’t even know existed!
The Summit was a great opportunity to share notes with other makers in the region. I’m still baffled and delighted by just how many there are!
Kimberley: A Good Place To Explore in Autumn
The mountain town of Kimberley is ideal in autumn because the larch trees are golden, the temps are perfect for outdoor fun, and the summer crowds have gone home. Come for the Summit but stay for the recreation, the restaurants and shops in the central platzl, and the surrounding wilderness that’s oh-so-easily accessible.
TESTIMONIALS
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.
