What People Are Saying

"The entire event was well put together. I enjoyed the educational sessions and the industry research shared was valuable to share with our company. There were so many great brands in attendance and I really appreciated meeting with 3 Dots Design for some merchandising ideas. The Merrell hike was a fun bonus! Five stars."
Briana EmelityProspector Outfitters
“Switchback Spring exceeded every expectation. As a small retail startup, I was blown away by the quality of connections I made—real conversations with passionate brand founders who actually cared about building relationships, not just moving product. The intimate setting meant I could spend meaningful time with each vendor, discovering authentic brands I never would have found on my own."
Vana KokkinosRestless Explorer Outfitters, LLC
“This was an awesome event! Greet sense of community, lots of information, easy to navigate the floor, and many brands we needed to see.”
