Capitol Summit
April 29 – 30, 2025
Use your outside voice for business, people, and planet
Bike, hike, run, and paddle your way to Capitol Hill this April! We’re gathering our industry’s top leaders to increase lawmaker attention and investment on the intersectional issues of equitable access, recreation, climate, trade, and conservation. It’s time to use your outside voice.
When outdoor business leaders talk, members of Congress listen.
We’re making the outdoor industry voice heard on Capitol Hill this Spring with hands-on training, relationship-building, and an actionable common agenda that addresses our industry’s needs.
Capitol Summit is your business’ chance to build relationships with the elected officials who make decisions that affect the outdoor industry every day.
Why advocate?
As a $1.2 trillion economic force, the outdoor industry supports over 5 million jobs and accounts for 2.3% of the U.S. economy. The 2024 election has created a dynamic political landscape with significant policy implications for outdoor industry businesses.
Now more than ever, it’s critical to advocate on the policy issues of trade, public lands access and conservation, and tariffs that directly impact our industry and our businesses.
