Asheville, NC — October 4, 2021 360 Adventure Collective, the trusted member association that has brought focused, regional events to sales reps and retailers for over 40 years, has secured dates for its 2022 Southeast Paddlesports Experience at the U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event, which will take place September 13-14, provides a unique trade show experience for its attendees by utilizing the amenities offered at this world-class whitewater facility.

The inaugural Paddlesports Experience, which took place August 24-25, proved to be a successful event for attendees. Buyers and distributors alike appreciated the central location and accessibility that Charlotte, NC provided. Attendees also noted the conveniences the U.S. National Whitewater Center delivered, which allowed buyers to easily transition from a discussion of new products to testing them immediately.

 

“We are really happy with the turnout and the feedback we received for our first Southeast Paddlesports Experience,” notes 360 Adventure Collective’s Executive Director Stacey Gellert. “We really listen to our members and work to create an event that is a beneficial experience that utilizes their time efficiently, and the Whitewater Center is the perfect space to make that possible.”

The U.S. National Whitewater Center is a 1,300-acre facility that offers 30+ land and water-based activities, over 50 miles of trails, and class II-IV rapids on the world’s largest man-made, recirculating whitewater river. Hosting the Southeast Paddlesports Experience there reflects the collective’s mantra of ‘see it, try it, buy it’ that has been successful at their On-Snow Demos hosted during the winter months.

 

360 Adventure Collective has three remaining events on the 2021 calendar, including the Southeast Winter Expo on November 16-19 in Greenville, SC, Alabama Winter Expo on December 1-2 in Montgomery, AL and the New England Winter Market on December 6-9 in Worcester, MA. Registration for these events is now open.
