The Whitewater Symposium seeks to advance the spirit of whitewater paddling through bringing
leaders of the sport together. Its focus is on generating new ideas to support the future of
whitewater among those who are genuinely passionate about it. Collectively, paddlers have the
greatest potential to influence the future of whitewater. The Whitewater Symposium program seeks
to involve all those who actively love whitewater sport. This includes intermediate paddlers who
want a deeper appreciation for paddlesport. The Symposium also supports the grassroots feeder
programs that encourage new and continued participation, empowering more people to take on
productive roles in stewarding whitewater paddling development.
