The People's Coast Summit

Join us in Coos Bay, Oregon for the 5th annual People's Coast Summit hosted by the Oregon Coast Visitors Association.

October 11th - October 13th, 2021

Our annual summit is an end-of-season industry gathering where participants can gather to decompress from the busy season, share experiences with colleagues and make new contacts.

Guest speakers provide opportunities for big picture thinking about our industry, and workshops offer nuts and bolts skills which business owners can return home and apply immediately.

This year's Summit will kick off on Monday, October 11th, 6:00pm at the Mill Casino and will end on Wednesday, Oct 13th at 1:00pm.

Events will take place in different buildings around Coos Bay.

✅ We've intentionally left ample social/networking time between sessions for you to mingle and connect.

✅Summit registration fee includes meals, workshops and entertainment.

A big thank you to our sponsors, Coos Bay - North Bend VCB, Travel Southern Oregon Coast, MEDIAmerica and Bandon Dunes for supporting this event and making it affordable to local businesses.
