There are a plethora of outdoor recreational opportunities on-site and immediately adjacent to the resort. Man-made snow is all but guaranteed this time of year, the conference host team is planning a Winter Skills and Demo Day for all conference attendees; don’t miss out!

Conference Site Information

The Keystone Conference Center is an award-winning center, with unparalleled opportunities for networking, break-out sessions, and vendor interactions. We will be occupying the Columbine Ballroom, with 12,000 square feet for vendor booths, general meetings, continental breakfasts, and keynote speakers. The room will host 30+ booths and opportunities for hands-on demonstrations from manufacturers and distributors of outdoor equipment and service providers through our scheduling of the main stage for vendor presentations. Exhibiting vendors will be the center of focus for the duration of the conference as breakfasts, socials, and keynote speakers will all take place in the main ballroom.

Exhibitor Presentations

On site exhibitors are also encouraged to submit a presentation to educate attendees on the vendor's products and services. These presentations differ from the core conference presentations since they are marketing a certain product or service, but will be listed in the conference guidebook equally. Note, that these presentations are only scheduled for 30 min. and will be based on a first-come-first serve basis (there are only 13 available time slots!). Please fill out the presentation submission form to apply for one of these time slots.

Winter Skills and Demo Day

AORE is excited to present a unique opportunity at the Annual Conference at Keystone, Colorado. Located at almost 10,000 ft., the Keystone Resort offers numerous opportunities for skills-related training and winter equipment demos for our conference attendees.
