What is Connect?
Simple and streamlined, Connect is a fresh approach to a typical tradeshow. Created for the specialty outdoor industry, the invitation-only Connect provides a highly-efficient opportunity for Grassroots Outdoor Alliance retailers, vendor partners, and sales reps to present, discuss, plan, and collect pre-season orders.
Scheduled as early as possible in the buying cycle, Connect is cost-effective and collaborative, offering focus, productivity, and a community vibe for doing business and building relationships. It's an incubator and testing ground for ideas and product innovations, and a place where industry influencers come together to set the trends for the season ahead.
