Hear What Attendees Had to Say:
One of the most inspiring and informative education conferences I’ve ever been to. If you or your school are looking to take your outdoor education programme to the next level, you definitely need to be at OFFSEAS next year.
OFFSEAS reminded me again: in a niche industry like ours, it can feel isolating. Thank you to the OFFSEAS team for creating a space that feels like “home”
OFFSEAS has become a focal point of the year for our industry in this region. I enjoyed reconnecting with so many inspiring experiential educators from schools and providers across the SEA and APAC region.
My first OFFSEAS conference and I can say that it was truly an amazing learning experience.Thank you for hosting and organizing this great conference.
