360 Adventure Collective will host its first Southeast Paddlesports Experience August 24-25 at the U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC.
The show will provide the Southeast’s distributors with an opportunity to test new products in person and speak to industry experts at a centrally-located facility.
“Though 2020 brought unthinkable challenges, it also gave us a chance to assess our model and evaluate how we can make a better show for our attendees,” said Stacey Gellert, executive director, 360 Adventure Collective. “This incredible facility provides so much more than a convention center to really give attendees a chance to have a paddle experience.”
The U.S. National Whitewater Center is a 1,300-acre complex that offers 30-plus land and water-based activities, over 50 miles of trails and boasts Class II-IV rapids on the largest man-made, recirculating whitewater river. The experience will mirror the collective’s mantra of “see it, try it, buy it.”
360 Adventure Collective’s New England and Mid-Atlantic Paddle Show in Sturbridge, MA was canceled for 2021, so retailers from those regions are encouraged to attend the Southeast Paddlesports Experience. Retailers outside of the region are asked to pre-register ahead of time.
