WICS: Indoor industry meeting 19-21/6 in Sofia

WICS, World Indoor Climbing Summit, is the first global event in the climbing industry and stands out by gathering a unique international set of climbing industry experts, under one roof. A carefully selected agenda built around the business of running a climbing gym โ€” and the doโ€™s and donโ€™ts of turning it into a profitable venture, from the perspective of various markets โ€” make the event a valuable experience for any climbing gym operator. It unites the pioneers of the industry on a global scale โ€” people who have witnessed and experienced the growth of climbing from the first row and have played a big role in it. โ€œIt was interesting to hear the different ways the US market diversifies from Europe and Australia and some other places. And I thought that was unique perspective that I havenโ€™t had before. Having all these gym operators from around the world in one place and having that kind of discussions was really interesting.โ€ Jeffery Bowling, Marketing, IT and Business Development Manager at Touchstone Climbing

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
