2023 National WTS Sponsors & Exhibitors
Thank you to our attendees! We can't wait to see you next year!
This year we celebrate 20 years together.
As we reflect back, we can see the evolution of the field of outdoor behavioral healthcare, but we also know the growth we must have. Last year, we welcomed over 400 attendees in Park City and we're excited to be moving to St. George, UT. We can't wait to have you with us.
Below are a few notes and reminders regarding our keynote, registration, hotel, workshops and presentations. Full registration tickets include all events, so purchase of individual event tickets isn't necessary, but are great if you're just stopping by for that singular event.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@obhcouncil.org and include a detailed subject line.
Introducing Keynote Speaker, Ari Gunzburg
If it’s outdoors, you can probably find Ari Gunzburg doing it. From scuba diving to paddle boarding, hiking to rock climbing, caving to kayaking, and many activities in between, Ari loves the outdoors for the life changing adventures and true introspection it provides.
Ari went through a lot growing up, from a tragic moment as a young child, to partying
and using drugs as a teenager, to scuffles with police, and more. These moments sparked a chain reaction of positivity and growth as Ari slowly turned his life around and began working to create lasting impact in the world. Today, Ari uses the wisdom and strength forged through these experiences to empower others to unlock their own everyday greatness.
As an award-winning speaker, writer and coach, Ari brings his expertise on cultivating a greater sense of belonging to conferences, board rooms, and beyond, inspiring people to unleash their greatest selves. Ari uses captivating stories of the great outdoors to help others find the power of being radically engaged and a part of something. Ari continues to crack the code on human connection, helping people seek real belonging and real community using his essential framework, the 5 Keys To Greatness.
