This month the ABC is launching a new webinar series, building on our 2024 conference theme of ‘Scaling Success’, and focused on some of the common challenges and ambitions of climbing walls. We will be bringing together expert speakers from our Board, partner organisations and beyond, to provide insights, advice and solutions on a range of topics.
ACCIDENT RESEARCH: INSIGHTS AND ACTIONS
28 November 10-11am.
Our first webinar offers an exclusive look at ABC research data on indoor climbing accidents. Join Kath Hipwell (CEO) and Dan Crossdale (Depot General Manager, ABC Board Safety Lead) as they take you through the findings of the ABC’s accident research, exploring the reasons behind indoor climbing accidents and opening up for a discussion on how walls can mitigate against them.
IMPROVING ACCESSIBILITY: GRASSROOTS TO TEAM GB
11 December 7-8pm
We are thrilled to be joined by Hannah Baldwin, two-time World Paraclimbing Champion and GB Paraclimbing coach. In conversation with El Temple, ABC’s EDI Manager, Hannah will draw on her climbing and coaching expertise as well as her climbing centre manager experience, to guide you through the ways climbing walls can become more inclusive and accessible for disabled people, from setting for paraclimbers to the potential funding that is on offer.
This session is open to ABC members and will be an open, collaborative conversation with shared problem-solving. We encourage you to send your questions and challenges in advance to [email protected].
Upcoming webinars to look out for:
- Route Setter CPD (RSD Members only)
- Marketing your climbing wall
- ABC Accreditation – key principles
- Intro to the ABC (run regularly for new members)
