Upcoming Conferences

Fall is conference time, one of the most important ways that outdoor educators can expand their knowledge. I'd like to encourage all of you to take advantage of three of the most valuable conferences this fall.

• Wilderness Risk Management Conference: October 14 - 16, Colorado Springs, CO, US - The core objective of the Wilderness Risk Management Conference (WRMC) is to offer an outstanding educational experience to help you mitigate the risks inherent in exploring, working, teaching, and recreating in wild places. The full workshop listing and registration information is available online at WRMC Conference Workshops.

• Association for Experiential Education Conference: November 4 - 7, Las Vegas, NV, US - The Annual International AEE Conference brings together more than 900 experiential educators and practitioners for professional development and networking. Join us in Las Vegas if you want to affect change in your work, your life, your community and beyond. You will leave the conference with the tools, information and inspiration to make a positive impact in the world through the philosophy and principles of experiential education. The full workshop listing is available online at AEE International Conference Workshops.

• Association of Outdoor Recreation and Education Conference: November 11 - 13, Keystone, CO, US - The AORE annual conference brings outdoor recreation professionals and students together for networking, professional development and information sharing activities and opportunities.

Are you Balacing your Legal Risks?

New Legal Case at the Adventure & Recreation Law Center: Climbing Wall Employee and Client Agree to Break the Rules -- and a Court Upholds the Release

A Club climbing wall employee and client arrange a “side deal” and ignore the Club’s posted rules regarding use of the wall.  Following the client’s injury, who is responsible? If the service provider's staff collaborates in “changing the rules of the game”, should the release be allowed to stand? Is this what the client bargained for? Did the new deal enlarge the inherent risks of the climb, or is a fall a fall no matter what? Learn about this critical risk management issue from the legal authorities at the Adventure & Recreation Law Center, Reb Gregg and Catherine Hansen-Stamp.
