We’re looking for a graphic designer/video person to help us take Outdoor Media Summit to the level that the industry is demanding. This person needs to get excited about this vision. Ideally this person is based in Northwest Arkansas but that is not a requirement. Either way the position is semi-remote.

We also help put on other niche events in the outdoor industry including Arkansas’s outdoor recreation leadership conference, and have dreams of putting on other events as well.

Here’s who we’re looking for:

Hard skills

• Graphic design background

• Interest in learning video

• Web design experience a plus

• WordPress familiarity a plus

• Social media platform experience a plus (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok)

• Communications experience required

• Event planning experience a plus

Soft skills

• VERY fast

• VERY organized

• Takes initiative, able to figure out what needs to be done with little, no, or confusing direction (ok we’re not that bad but it does happen!)

• Can manage their own time, doesn’t need constant follow up, updates team on progress

• Can look at the big picture and prioritize which tasks need to be knocked out asap, which ones can go on the backburner

• Creative thinker

• Works well both independently and cooperatively

• Connected to the outdoor industry

• Enthusiastic about outdoor activities/sports a plus

• Enthusiastic about the outdoor industry is a must

Ask yourself…

• Does the vision at the beginning of the job posting get you stoked out of your mind?

• Would I get excited in an environment with lots of people, small talking with media and marketing professionals in the outdoor industry?

• Can I commit to a few long, exhausting days during an event?

• After reading the Soft Skills portion, am I still excited about this gig?

Compensation: 

• $40k W2 salary (or if part time, $20 an hour)
• *We’re still in startup mode but if we continue to hit our numbers (which we are) this will increase according to a set schedule
• Health Insurance 100% premiums paid (Silver Plan via Blue Cross Blue Shield)
• Salary negotiable if no health insurance needed

Not available for part time

• Flexible work schedule
• 20 days of Paid Time Off
• 401k available*

A little about Outdoor Media Summit’s culture:

• Extracurriculars and hobbies: We believe that certain extracurriculars and side hustles bring benefit to the team at large. If you have a creator “side hustle,” particularly freelance writing, social media influencing, or pursue a sport professionally, we want to support these pursuits. After all, it benefits OMS if we have an influencer and pro athlete on staff.
  
  Just remember, we support extracurriculars because it helps you with this job. This position is not meant to be a stepping stone for your side hustle.

• Work from the road / flexible schedule: We care less about if your butt is in a seat and more about making sure the work is getting done. I’ve closed six figure deals from a chair lift and taken plenty of client calls while on the river or pulled over next to singletrack. While the 20 days of PTO are true “turn off your phone,” PTO, we also support working from the road. Our team often travels internationally but are never late or unfocused when joining phone calls.
  
  This isn’t an exact science since the workload changes throughout the year. In the beginning of the year, there’s less work. In the months before show time, workload gets progressively heavier and requires focus. This is where we lean on your intuition. We value your extracurriculars and personal life so keep up with your shit, don’t let it be a problem and we’re good.

All OMS ticket-holders are invited to arrive in Denver on Monday, September 27th and meet
us at BOA HQ between 4:00pm – 7:00pm. Refreshments and a place to relax and mingle
with summit-goers will be provided in the afternoon, with food and drinks later in the
evening.

In an effort to reduce the number of single-vehicle trips from Denver up to the Ridgeline
Hotel in Estes Park, we will be providing group transportation from BOA HQ at the event’s
conclusion at 7:00pm.

With their beautiful global headquarters located along the South Platte River in the RiNo
Arts District of Denver – BOA is excited to welcome attendees as they arrive in Colorado for
OMS 2021.

With 80,000 square feet of collaborative work spaces including their state-of-the-art
Performance Fit Lab, this is a unique opportunity to see behind the curtain at one of the
most transformative brands in the outdoor industry. You won’t want to miss it.

There are a limited number of tickets remaining so be sure to reserve your spot now!

If OMS 2021 in Estes Park is the celebration after a hard-fought victory then OMS 2022 in Lake Tahoe will be the triumphant homecoming. It will be 3 days of curated, BS-free content for outdoor editors, writers, marketers and influencers with significant time and opportunity to meet and collaborate with fellow industry insiders—all amid the unmatched natural beauty of North Lake Tahoe. 

After a year of emails and zoom calls, I know I’ve come to appreciate the value of human contact more than ever. I’ll never take that for granted again. The opportunity to make new connections and solidify meaningful relationships just doesn’t happen digitally. And I can’t think of a more epic setting than Lake Tahoe to do that. 

So we hope you’ll make plans to join us in 2022. See you there!

The post OMS 2022 Dates Confirmed appeared first on Outdoor Media Summit 2024.

With only a handful of cancellations despite a year of uncertainty, we owe a big thank you to all of our sponsors, speakers, attendees and partners including The Ridgeline Hotel and Visit Estes Park for sticking with us.

Our biggest priority for rescheduling has been safety and preserving the best of OMS. In conversations with attendees and sponsors, we were encouraged not to rush back too quickly if it meant settling for a sub-par event.

With that in mind, Outdoor Media Summit 2021 has officially been rescheduled for September 27-29 at The Ridgeline Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. The latest forecasts indicate that by September an increasing majority of us will be starting to feel confident traveling and interacting once again.

Of course health & safety is our #1 concern, which means we will be following the most up-to-date guidelines for the state of Colorado, which you can find here. Our hotel partner, The Ridgeline will also be practicing a full resume of protocols that will ensure that everyone will be able to stay safe and healthy.

Thank you again for your commitment. We’re proud to be a part of a community that powers through together (and if you’ve sent emails to info@outdoormediasummit.com, expect some responses soon as we now have a solidified plan in place). See you in September!

Yoon Kim, Founder – Outdoor Media Summit

P.S. Limited registrations are now available and we still have some sponsorship slots open. If you are interested email us at yoon@outdoormediasummit.com or kenji@outdoormediasummit.com

Coincidentally, OMS will be one of the first outdoor events to happen after a long hiatus. At this point, we are still overbooked (despite a few cancellations) and we’re still expecting a full house which is so, so, so exciting.

We appreciate all the support and commitment from sponsors, speakers, attendees, and partners including The Ridgeline Hotel and Visit Estes Park. We’re proud to be apart of a community that powers through together.

We’re looking forward to meeting in person,

The post OMS 2020 moved to the Spring 🤞 appeared first on Outdoor Media Summit 2024.

While we expect the world to return to a state of semi-normalcy in six months, there will be many new normals that we’ll have to adapt to. We don’t know what those new normals will look like today but we imagine there will be new social distancing guidelines and new maximum capacity limits. And who knows; we may even have a vaccine / treatment by then that reduces the severity of Covid-19.

While there’s a lot we still don’t know, we do know that we’re moving forward! We believe that in six months, there will be clear guidelines for events like ours on how to gather safely.

Your purchased tickets are still good for our new dates! Stay safe and stay tuned for more details as they come.

Thank you on behalf of the Outdoor Media Summit team.

During this process, we have been blown away at the support and commitment from sponsors, speakers, attendees and partners including The Ridgeline Hotel and Visit Estes Park. At this time, we kindly ask holding off on requesting refunds while we work through the details of this unprecedented situation.

We plan to announce updated plans very soon and thank you in advance for your patience.

Thank you on behalf of the Outdoor Media Summit team,
