Just a few thoughts
We’re less than two months away from the marquis event for professionals who work in and around climbing gyms. This year’s CWA Summit will take place May 15-19 in Pittsburgh, and it’s not too late to attend. The full lineup of educational sessions were just announced, with space available in both the pre-conference certification courses and the new Coffee & Collaboration. Kareemah Batts will be the keynote speaker on May 18.
