AR Race Director Summit
1-Day Summit: 13, January 2018

Description
The AR summit provides a forum for race directors to collaborate, share ideas, discuss best practices, and provide networking opportunities within the adventure race community.

It is recommended that participants have directed an adventure race with the past 24 months.

Location
Two options are available to attend the summit: Onsite or virtually. Onsite registrations are limited to 15 people. Virtual capacity is limited to 20 registrations. Onsite participants get to interact more intimately with the group, have a two-way dialogue, and are treated to breakfast and lunch. Virtual participants can view and listen to sessions and can interact via posting questions and comments for feedback. Audio will be one way for virtual participants.
