In post-Show surveys, ATA members continually ask for more educational opportunities that teach them about business obstacles and solutions, as well as industry changes and ways to adapt. As a result, the ATA offers free seminars, free Coffee Talks, and a low-cost Archery Industry Masterclass to give members options and valuable information.
Learn about marketing, youth archery, sales opportunities, the used bow market, behaviors that affect customer service and more! Attending these educational opportunities will give your business an advantage as you navigate 2022 and beyond. Plus, most educational events are on days two and three, so if you focus on business on Day One, you can attend numerous educational events on the last two Show days.
ATA staff encourage members to attend educational events in person to ask questions and fully absorb the information. The ATA will livestream select seminar and Coffee Talk presentations for ATA members unable to attend the Show. If you miss a livestream or an in-person presentation, don’t worry. The ATA will record a few sessions and upload them to the MyATA Learning Center throughout spring.
Let’s learn about this year’s education lineup.
Seminars are classroom style presentations. Photo Credit: ATA
Seminars are hourlong presentations in a classroom-style setting with a presenter and students. Educators often use presentations to share information, and participants can ask questions at the end. Seminars are not offered on Day One so retailers can focus on Buyer Day. Seminars will be available at 8 a.m. on Day Two and Day Three.

Coffee Talks are 30-minute casual presentations or discussions on the Show floor that welcome attendee participation and feedback. ATA staff expanded Coffee Talk offerings this year to ensure attendees find quality education sessions that fit their busy schedules. Attend all 11 sessions, if your schedule allows.

The Archery Industry Masterclass provides detailed and in-depth information beyond the high-level curriculum covered in morning seminars and Coffee Talks. This year, participants will receive top-notch education from experts on business, coaching, marketing and archery tech through 10 in-person sessions and six prerecorded sessions. All the sessions will be available online in the MyATA Learning Center after the Show.
ATA members can register for the Masterclass in their MyATA member dashboard when registering for their Trade Show badge, or through the MyATA Learning Center. Nonmembers can register online in the MyATA Learning Center. The registration fee is $100 for ATA members and $500 for nonmembers. Registrants can choose to attend in-person, online or a combination of both. After registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email with event details.
