2025 Utah Outdoor Recreation Summit

The Utah Outdoor Recreation Summit is back—this time in the heart of Utah County at the beautiful campus of Utah Valley University, which boasts arguably the most dramatic backdrop along the Wasatch Front. Mark your calendars for October 14–15, 2025, as we gather leaders, advocates, and outdoor enthusiasts from across the state and beyond for two days of collaboration, inspiration, and action.

This year’s theme, Building Bridges: Explore. Connect. Sustain., invites participants to forge stronger connections between people, communities, and the landscapes we love. Through hands-on workshops, engaging keynotes, and thoughtful panel discussions, we’ll explore how outdoor recreation can serve as a powerful tool to unify stakeholders, empower local economies, and ensure long-term stewardship of our natural resources.

Whether you’re a land manager, policy maker, business owner, nonprofit leader, or passionate recreator, the Summit offers something for everyone. Join us as we shape the future of outdoor recreation in Utah—together.
