As a presenter, we couldn't have imagined such an excellent turnout, given the relatively small number of pre-registered attendees. Now that we understand the drawing power of the symposium as a whole, (and this is in agreement with the comments above) the pre-conference workshops will become much more targeted and specifically marketed. One thing that caught us off guard was the complete range of participants in our workshop; from university Athletic Directors looking to bring a wall to their facility to seasoned gym managers. Also, people were very motivated to bring their thoughts and questions to the group, creating a very dynamic forum. For me, some of the best dialog came after our workshop, as I spoke with attendees at length about their specific facility issues. In a way, these conversations will help shape the workshops for next year as they represented the different microcosms in our industry. Overall, I think this was a very important step in bringing the importance of quality setting out into the open, and expanding the understanding of the art to the climbing arena outside the commercial gym scene and the schools with an active climbing population. Already many of our wall clients are requesting more advanced operational and route setting training, not to mention complete setting of their facilities. We have not seen this to this degree in the past. This is a great sign, both in terms of work for seasoned veterans and developing the next crop of talented, well-versed setters. The better the experience is for climbers of all levels, the more our industry will continue to grow and mature. Kudos to everyone who presented and participated. I am looking forward to an even better symposium next year, with many more specific workshops dedicated to this very artistic, vital, and important element of climbing.
