We are gearing up for QAS 2025, recruiting sponsors and exhibitors. We shall post speaker proposal requests soon and start to build all the blocks for another great symposium at the MSU Pavilion in East Lansing.
Quiet Adventures Symposium 2024 was successfully held on March 2, 2024 at the MSU Pavilion on the Michigan State University campus. See the Program Booklet to get a sense of who was there, the speakers and demonstrations, sponsors and more.
Now we start looking forward to 2025 and how to make sure that we have a wonderful event, filling the Arena and the Exhibit Hall with boats, bikes, and more.
If you enjoyed QAS 2024 and would like to be more involved in QAS 2025, please contact us directly at info@quietadventures.org .
To relive some of the fun from QAS 2024, visit Youtube, Facebook, Poscasts and more to check out videos and podcasts from the event. Check out all the other great content that they have! Here is a sampling:
We need to thank all the volunteers who helped make the event a great time. Kate Lederle was honored as the Stacy Smith Volunteer Awardee for the many years of service to the Quiet Water SOciety and now Quiet Adventures Society. She is often seen at the Raffle Desk or eslewhere, working through the challenges before, during and after the show. Well done Kate.

QAS 2025 is coming March 1, 2025!
We all had a great time at QAS 2024. There were around 1500 people at the event, including paid entries, volunteers, exhibitors, speakers, students and kids. This is similar to last year. Now we will be working to make our 30th Anniversary Quiet Adventures Symposium on Saturday March 1, 2025 bigger and better. We will post invitations to Exhibitors, Sponsors, Speakers and Volunteers later in 2024.
Please note: We do not sell or share our contact lists; anyone who offers you our exhibitor list or other contacts is SPAM or worse!
We have a new official Water Trail in Michigan! Congratulations to the folks of the Lower Grand River Organization of Watersheds. Fall is a great time to get on the river and enjoy the fall colors!
The 2024 Verlen Kruger Award was awarded to John Bollman, a local river angel, helping bring together people to ensure that the Red Cedar River remains a local paadling and fishing resource. In Fall, there are many opportunities to help clean up our rivers, participate in community events. Get out and hike, bike, camp, climb, paddle.
Here is just a sample and we will add more along the way!
Fall cleanups are moving forward. The River and River Trails Cleanup event on September 21 based at Potter Park Zoo with Michigan Waterways Stewards and all of the local partners was a great success. Check FACEBOOK @Michigan Waterways Stewards for more information and to follow all of the action with MWS and partners.
All along the North Country Trailthere are hikes and volunteer efforts, welcoming participants to maintain the 4800 miles of hiking trail across 8 states. September is Membership month, with goodies to gain! The local Chief Noonday Chapter would love you to join in the fun and posts suggested hikes on their website.
