What is the Ladies Offroad Convention?

The Ladies Offroad Convention is an action-packed, interactive 4-day weekend educating, motivating, and guiding all offroad ladies. Our 3rd Annual 2019 Convention will be held in Atlanta, GA   August 1-4, 2019.  Ladies will have many hands-on opportunities to gain all types of offroading skills, learn and engage with other offroad ladies as they share their stories, and most importantly laugh the whole way!

"As I travel across the country I am lucky to meet amazing offroad ladies, that all tend to say the same thing:  'I wish we had a safe place to learn' or, 'I don't know any other offroad girls like myself.'  Well, we are answering both of those requests all while hosted by my team and myself in a fun and exciting style that we love to provide!  This is a first in the Offroad Industry and I am excited to provide a platform for Ladies to shine!"  ~ Charlene

Stations

LOCON-Sliders-2018-Activities

Thursday we will start the activities as soon as you arrive and check-in with our welcoming staff at 10am.  There will be a couple dozen stations set up around the conference room where you can learn something new or test your skills.  Simple, fun but may also be challenging.  Our vendors and partners will also have booths to stop by.  Of course we will add a little competitive spirit to the afternoon, so don't plan on coming in at the last minute.

Some examples of a station would be "How to make a Rescueband Bracelet", "How 4-Wheel Drive is Engaged, the Mechanics", "Tricks and Tips for Cooking over a Campfire", "How to Tie Knots".  Each station is built to be a casual 15-20 minute stop.  

These unique stations will be ideas of, and hosted by, our 2016 Ladies Co-Driver Challenge Top 10, the 2017 & 2018 Ladies Offroad Challenge Top 10, and our Brand Ambassadors.  You will get to meet and interact with ladies you have cheered on during the challenges and events throughout 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Seminars

LOCON-Sliders-2018-Educate

On Friday, you will get the chance to choose 4 seminars of your choice in addition to one required seminar that everyone will attend. The seminars are built around various aspects of offroading. We encourage you to attend one where you feel confident in knowing most of the information and can sharpen your skills and then, step outside of your comfort zone and attend seminars that push you to try something new or attack a skill you have always wanted to learn.

All of the seminars are hands-on and may be outside or inside, depending on the topic. Ou r"Offroad Recovery & Driving" seminar will be required and will cover safety, spotting, and pulling a winch line!  (Don't worry, it's actually fun!)  Additional seminar topics will include: "Recovery 101", "Recovery 202", "Recovery 303""Outdoor Photography", "How To Back Up a Trailer", "Racer Strategy", "Offroad Marketing for Business and Racing", "Vehicle Sympathy and Maintenance", "Navigation 101", "Offroad Business Round Table", "Kids on the Trails", "Cooking Outdoors", "Overlanding 101", and more.  If you have a seminar topic that interests you, please email us for consideration.

You will be able to choose your 4 seminars in order of registration. Register early to be at the front of the line! Seating for some seminars may be limited and will sell out.

Giving back, helping others, and being kind are extremely important to Charlene.  There will be a 24 hour Charity Corner set up where Ladies can help build something awesome. Then, the final event of the Ladies Offroad Convention weekend will be built around helping and motivating others with the skills learned over the weekend. 

This event is listed as an optional event to allow ladies to travel early if needed. We sincerely hope that everyone will have the opportunity to stay and participate.  Details will follow when appropriate.
