Outdoor Industry Association Introduces #MyOutdoorStory Campaign
OIA invites Outdoor Retailer attendees to step into a gondola sound booth to record stories and perspectives about the outdoor industry and initiatives
Boulder, CO (December 29, 2015) – Outdoor Industry Association® (OIA) announces the #MyOutdoorStory campaign, launching at Outdoor Retailer Winter Market 2016 and continuing through the year. OIA encourages trade show attendees to take time during the show or at OIA’s happy hours to visit the OIA gondola sound booth and record their stories.
Inspired by StoryCorps– America’s oral history project – to capture and share the outdoorist’s passions, purpose, individual stories and points of view, the #MyOutdoorStory project will focus on why and how people got into the outdoor industry, America’s public lands and the intricacies and importance of a sustainable supply chain. The OIA gondola sound booth will be available onsite on a first-come-first-served basis to capture individual stories. An online storytelling option is also for a short time after the ORWM. OIA will archive individual stories on the OIA website.
Where: OIA Booth #BRL200 at Outdoor Retailer Winter Market 2016
What: Tell your outdoor story in the OIA gondola sound booth
When: Days 1 – 3 from 9am to 6pm with happy hours* from 4:30pm – 6:00pm and on Day 4 from 9am – 12pm
*OIA encourages you to BYOV. If you bring your own vessel, OIA will fill it with beer and make a donation to the Outdoor Foundation. OIA will also have pints on hand for sale, and all sales will go to the Outdoor Foundation.
