Imagine the value of spending time with and learning from the editor of Field & Stream, the host of the Sportsman Channel’s most popular television show, the most successful freelance outdoor content providers in the nation, veteran columnists/bloggers and award-winning photographers/videographers.

The dream can become reality.

“I attended the POMA conference last year and it changed my life,” said DePauw University student Mitch Strobl. “I made incredible contacts, have been offered internships and jobs, have been invited on trips as a videographer and so much more. The POMA conference is an amazing opportunity and investment in the future. I’m attending again this year.”

Registered college students attend the POMA<35 program, developed specifically for them, enjoy dozens of educational sessions, interact with industry professionals, test outdoor equipment from the industry’s leading manufacturers during a day-long interactive event and much more.
