Event Description

Thinking about presenting at the Outdoor Professional Conference but not sure where to start? This session is for you! Join past presenters Em Dahlgren and Steven Koster as they share their experiences, insights, and what they’ve learned along the way. We’ll walk through the presentation proposal form, explain the review process, and share what attendees are looking for in a session.

From higher ed to private sector education programs, we need a diverse range of perspectives and topics. OPC is a casual, welcoming space where experiential learning is encouraged—no need for a lectern or formal attire. Whether you want to co-present with colleagues, facilitate a discussion, or lead a hands-on session, this is your chance to bring your ideas to the table! Come share your ideas, get feedback, and more.
