Outdoor media is built on stories, images, films, and people who are willing to create something of their own. On September 23, Moonrise Creative is teaming up with Stio and Kari Traa at evo Salt Lake for an intimate evening focused on the women shaping the outdoor industry today. Hear directly from leaders across photography, film, brand, and professional sport about how they built their careers, found opportunities, and carved out their own paths in the mountains.
This isn’t your typical panel. With just 50 spots, the goal is to create a space where you can actually ask questions, make connections, and have real conversations with the people in the room. Stick around after the panel for a casual happy hour and start building your own community, network, and path in outdoor media.
