The Global Outdoor Industry Leaders Summit is headed downunder for the first time and will be held in Batemans Bay NSW, 21-23 October 2025.
As part of Sea Otter Australia (SOA), the Summit is a unique opportunity for industry professionals, innovators, and enthusiasts to come together and share insights, discuss trends, and shape the future of cycling and outdoor recreation in Australia.
Building off a 30yr+ globally-recognised event and brand, the Sea Otter Classic, alongside the (6yr+) Sea Otter Europe, is part of a global series bringing Asia Pacific into the fold this October and giving the outdoor economy, trails-based investments and regional Australia an international boost.
The 10-year licence commences with Batemans Bay and the Mogo Trails in NSW, activating newly-built event and sports infrastructure and a strong enthusiasm from local government agencies.

The SOA Summit (SOAS) will host international, national and NSW speakers with attendance from North America, Europe and Asia Pacific (Currently focused on China, New Zealand, Taiwan, and Philippines) to foster new networks, collaboration and knowledge-sharing on the outdoor economy.
