The first Montana Camber Exchange
CAMBER OUTDOORS!

Last Thursday, Wheelie was extremely proud to host the first ever Montana Camber Exchange through Camber Outdoors, an organization dedicated to encouraging women's leadership from the backcountry to the boardroom. After several weeks of planning and preparations, the event finally arrived, and we packed the lawn with some badass ladies and a few supporting fellas for an evening of networking, eating, drinking, and speeches. These like-minded individuals were able to gather, meet new people, and discuss their passion for business in the outdoor industry.

Formerly knows as the Outdoor Industries Women's Coalition (OIWC), Camber Outdoors was founded 1996 to empower and encourage women in the active-outdoors industry.

When we first found out that we would be hosting the first Montana Camber Exchange, we plunged deep into planning mode. We even brought on an intern this summer, Iris Matulevich, to help with the planning and logistics for the event.

Leading up to the exchange we received lots of questions about Camber Outdoors.
  • "What's a Camber Exchange?"
  • "Oh, you mean that whole women's thing?" 
  • "Why just women?"
  • "What do the speakers talk about?"
  • "Is the event free?"
  • ​"Will there be beer?" 
While some of the questions came off a little silly and fun, the other questions brought up another point. Not a lot of women in Montana know about Camber Outdoors, nor do they know much about the statistics about women in the outdoor industry. When it came time to answer these questions, we were thrilled to share our knowledge with others through this Camber Exchange event.

Camber Exchanges are hosted throughout the country and feature 2 - 3 speakers who give a 10 - 15 minute TEDx style speech followed by a Q&A session. These exchanges are meant to help passionate, outdoorsy ladies get together, network, and support one another in the outdoor industry. Camber Outdoors wants to help women that have a love for the outdoors to take that love and turn it into a career. The more women in the outdoor industry the better!

Thank you to all who attended the
inaugural Montana Camber Exchange event! We had a great time getting to know you and are stoked that we were able to host this empowering event.

I can't recommend Wheelie enough. Our website launch was almost too successful, and we could barely keep up with the amount of orders we received as soon as we announced the rebrand. They are ah.MAZING!"
