パドルスポーツ貿易連合の2025年Colabイベントがシャーロットに移転
Paddlesports Trade Coalition’s 2025 Colab Event Moves to Charlotte for Expanded Industry Gathering
The Paddlesports Trade Coalition’s flagship annual event, Colab 2025, is set to take place from October 15–19 at the U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, North Carolina—a world-class venue that will simultaneously host the American Canoe Association (ACA)’s 145th anniversary celebration. This marks a strategic shift from Oklahoma City, the location of the inaugural 2024 Colab and previous Paddlesports Retailer trade shows (2017–2019).
In partnership with ACA PaddleFest, Colab 2025 will elevate its offerings with:
Industry Insights: Informative sessions, roundtables, and product showcases.
Hands-On Experiences: On-water demos and competitions, including the National Slalom and Kayak Cross Championships.
Professional Development: The Swiftwater Rescue Conference, instructor training updates, and the ACA Silent Auction.
By merging with ACA PaddleFest, the event aims to attract a wider audience of retailers, instructors, and paddlesports enthusiasts, fostering collaboration and innovation across the industry.
