ATA’s Media Summit – Press and Media Members Only
Friday, Jan. 7, from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. in Room C102
The ATA hosts a summit each year to gather press and media members for the opportunity to discuss ideas and strategies to grow the archery and bowhunting community by recruiting newcomers, reaching audiences outside the hunting industry and creating a positive public image of hunters. The advice and concepts shared will help press members create educational, engaging and encouraging content for bowhunting newcomers and veterans. This year’s Media Summit will feature mini presentations by industry professionals. Press attendees will receive an email invitation in December with details.
Booth Events
Many exhibitors host booth events to attract buyers and provide unique, enjoyable experiences at the Show. Booth events could be anything from a celebrity appearance or product demonstration to a stand-up act or wild game cooking demonstration. Many exhibitors are still brainstorming ideas for booth events at the 2022 Show. The booth event schedule will be available for attendees in the official 2022 ATA Trade Show mobile app in late December. Stay tuned!
