About

WSIA SUMMIT is the can’t-miss annual gathering of the leadership from all the best companies in water sports. More than just another business conference, SUMMIT is where the real decision-makers come together in one place to align on the future of our industry. From towboat manufacturers and equipment brands to dealers, parks, camps, schools and parasail operators, this is where leaders roll up their sleeves, collaborate on big ideas, and work on the projects that will promote and protect towed water sports for years to come.

Throughout the event, attendees participate in focused meetings of the Towboat Committee, Equipment Committee, and Marine Dealer Council, as well as the Wake Park, Camps & Schools, and Parasail Committees. Between sessions, connections are made in the hallways, over coffee and at the chairlift—because SUMMIT isn’t just about what happens in the meeting rooms. It’s about access: direct, informal time with the people who shape our market, make buying decisions, and influence policy.
This time together builds a level of camaraderie and trust you simply can’t replicate on a conference call.

Evenings at SUMMIT are where the community really shines. Attendees enjoy great food, relaxed social time, and inspiring moments like our opening-night keynote and the WSIA Leadership Awards, which celebrate the people who push the industry forward. On the second day, many attendees carve out a little extra time to ski or ride while the Board of Directors meets, then everyone comes together to cheer on (or join in) the legendary “Maniac Downhill” group run. By the time you head home, you’ve strengthened key relationships, gained fresh insight for your business, and experienced the positive, forward-looking energy that makes SUMMIT the most productive (and most fun) trip on your calendar.
