Quiet Adventure Symposium 2022
QAS 2022
The Quiet Adventures Symposium planning team has looked at all the options for QAS 2022 and decided that the time is still not right for us to hold our traditional gathering at the MSU Pavilion in Lansing. QAS is planned and presented by the five members board of the Quiet Water Society. A face-to-face event is a huge labor of love in good times but far beyond our capabilities when facing the shifting, unpredictable constraints brought on by COVID-19.
No one ever drowned on a portage, and no one ever picked up a COVID infection at a virtual QAS. Therefore, QAS 2022 will again be a virtual event. We are already working to bring some new and exciting speakers to our QAS/YouTube platform. Yes, many of your past and still exciting favorites will also return.
The plan is to kick off the show the evening of Tuesday, March 1, 2022, with live hosts who will welcome attendees and introduce the evening’s prerecorded speakers. Following the evening’s presentations, registered attendees will be able to view additional presentations on-demand. The 25 shows that will make up QAS 2022 will be available for 60 days. This format allows each speaker to take up to 60 minutes to cover a topic. Watch for a word or two from our many sponsors who support your outdoor adventures.
I hope you will join us and bring a friend. This will be our 27th year of connecting friends of non-motorized, outdoor recreation. It was great to be part of the crowd in Lansing every spring to celebrate the out of doors, but the crowd was never the most important part. The most important part is connecting you with adventure.

If you have a topic that you would like to present to the QAS audience, please submit the details on our Presentation Proposal for 2022 form. We will take applications through November 30, 2021, and final decisions on our presenter line-up will be made by December 15, 2021.
Should the safety of public events again become a concern, we might have to fall back to a virtual event in 2022. Follow the QAS website for updates as we learn what the future holds.
