This week, we’re attending the 2025 Association of Western State Parks Conference (AWSPC) in Vancouver, Washington—right along the beautiful Columbia River Gorge!

AWSPC brings together leaders and professionals from western state park systems to collaborate, share best practices, and explore new ideas that support the mission of public parks. We’re excited to join the conversation and connect with the people shaping the future of park stewardship across the West.

Why does AWSPC matter to us? OuterSpatial exists to support park agencies in their work to connect people with the outdoors. This conference gives us the opportunity to learn directly from our partners, discover emerging challenges, and explore innovative solutions to better serve both visitors and staff.

We’re looking forward to a great week of learning, networking, and celebrating the vital role state parks play in our communities.

Stay tuned for updates from Vancouver!
