Topics – Innovation, Leadership, and Passion
Industry thought leaders present short introductions to the topics, which will be followed by moderated table talk discussions. Roving moderators will listen-in and help distil the conversation later during their recap. To conclude, we will have a 15-minute group discussion.

Innovation -	What innovation in the travel industry is primed to make a difference for the mountain travel industry? How does our industry utilize innovation to get growing again? Erik Blachford, Venture Partner, Technology Crossover Ventures Ian Arthur, CMO, Intrawest
Leadership -	How are we growing the next generation of leaders for the mountain travel industry? Who will lead the industry forward? Where are the young leaders going to come from? David Ingemie, President, SnowSports Industries America Bill Jensen, CEO, Intrawest
Passion -	The industry is full of passion, but how do we spread that passion to those who haven’t tasted powder? How do we grow the love of the mountains, and grow the sport? Art Webb, CEO, BCF Chris Klug, Olympic Medalist and Founder, The Chris Klug Foundation
Roving - Moderators	Key to the program will be developing a sense of what was said in the room during the moderated table talk. The roving moderators will take notes and present their summaries following the speakers. Comments from the moderators will drive the final summary discussion that will be open to all attendees.
