The fifth annual Utah Outdoor Recreation Summit, which brings together policy makers, professors, retailers, health professionals and activists, is set to take place from Sept. 4-6 at the Zermatt Resort in Midway. The event includes outdoor activities, keynote addresses and breakout sessions covering a variety of topics related to the outdoor industry. It is really important to get various interest groups in the same room where they may not otherwise have done it,” Charlie Sturgis, Executive director of Mountain Trails Foundation Tom Adams, director of the Utah Office of Outdoor Recreation, said the organization is celebrating the summit’s fifth year by holding one three-day conference rather than multiple, shorter ones throughout the state, as it has done in the past. This year’s summit also includes more outdoor recreation activities and a service activity, which Adams said can serve as networking opportunities for attendees. Boosting the amount of time for networking has been one of the requests from attendees for the last several years, Adams said. It is rare for people from diverse sectors to all be in one space, he said, and people want to take advantage of it.

The summit is taking place in Midway this year and is expected to attract 400 to 500 attendees from around the state. “Hopefully these people can take some time and chat and really come together,” he said. Adams said building and strengthening those connections makes the summit successful. In breakout sessions such as the “Collaboration Not Conflict” series, which is in its third year, Adams said topics that are “historically confrontational” are discussed. This year, the topic is “Not in My Backyard Trail Issues.” Charlie Sturgis, executive director of the Park City-based Mountain Trails Foundation, and others will speak about their experiences planning trails that were not wanted PHOTO BY JOHN EVANS Tom Adams, left, and Cotopaxi CEO Davis Smith, center, accompany students from Utah State University’s outdoor design and development program, who attended the 2016 Utah Outdoor Recreation Summit in Moab. by all parties.
