360 Adventure Collective to Host Southeast Paddlesports Experience

360 Adventure Collective, a member association that has brought focused, regional events to sales reps and retailers for more than 40 years, will be the host of its first Southeast Paddlesports Experience August 24-25 at the U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The show offers a different trade show experience by providing the Southeast’s top distributors with an opportunity to test new products and speak to industry experts at a centrally located, world-class 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 360 Adventure Collective’s Executive Director, Stacey Gellert. “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 facility that offers more than 30 land and water-based activities, over 50 miles of trails, and boasts class II-IV rapids on the world’s largest man-made, recirculating whitewater river. The experience will mirror the collective’s mantra of “see it, try it, buy it,” which has been successful at its On-Snow Demos presented during the winter months.

360 Adventure Collective’s New England/Mid-Atlantic Paddle Show in Sturbridge was canceled for 2021, so retailers from those regions are being encouraged to attend the Southeast Paddlesports Experience. Retailers outside the region are asked to pre-register here. Retailers who pre-register can get up to two free wristbands for access to the facility’s attractions. Retailers can register on-site but will be responsible for entrance fees.
