Catalyst Conversations – Outdoor Recreation Industry

Thank you for attending the first Catalyst Conversations event, exploring the regional outdoor recreation industry. This event included a panel of businesses representing Northern Michigan’s outdoor recreation industry, who spoke from their different vantage points in the industry. Additionally, Brad Garmon, Executive Director for the Michigan Outdoor Recreation Industry Office, spoke from both the statewide perspective as well as his experience working with industry leaders nationwide. In addition to panelists sharing their own perspectives, they answered in-depth questions from attendees, sparking an engaging conversation.
