Outdoor Media Summit (OMS) announced that its 2026 conference will take place Monday through Wednesday, Sept. 28-30, at the Crowne Plaza Resort in Asheville, North Carolina. The decision to bring the outdoor industry’s largest media gathering to Asheville represents a deliberate show of support for the region’s economic recovery following Hurricane Helene just over a year ago.
“Asheville is one of the outdoor industry’s most important hubs, and they need us now more than ever,” said Yoon Kim, founder of Outdoor Media Summit. “The best way the outdoor industry can support Asheville is to show up and bring the energy that our community is known for.”
