Speakers and Demonstrations

Speaker and Demonstration Proposals now being accepted! 

Deadline for submission has been extended to Jan 3, 2025 and we will be notifying selected speakers by Jan 15, 2025. 

Our theme this year is Bridging the Gap.  We wish to embrace all the nonmotorized outdoor activities in the Great Lakes Region and beyond.  We encourage submissions from paddlers, bikers, hikers, backpackers, fishing people and more! As always, safety is a priority as well as diversity and inclusion in all these activities.  

The 2024 QAS Program Brochure is available, as well as other information on the Quiet Adventures.org website at the QAS 2024 tab. These give you a list of previous year's speakers and exhibitors. Check it out!  

For a very limited number of speakers, we arrange your lodging at Candlewoood Suites and we will contact you about it.  

For those wanting to arrange their own lodging, we have arranged a block of rooms at the local Candlewoood Suites: $99 for an efficiency and $129 for a one bedroom, plus taxes, etc.  To book and pay for these rooms: Click on the link below, enter the arrival and departure dates then click on 'View Prices'.  The group name and rate will appear to the right.  Please contact Donna Schultz at Candlewood in East Lansing if you have any questions.  517-351-8181, Ext. 412 or dschultz@pyramidglobal.com .  The Booking link is  Quiet Adventures 2025 .
