TABLING EVENTS

Tabling at a variety of events is crucial for She Sends because it allows the organization to increase visibility, build community, and engage directly with climbers who align with its mission. Here’s why it’s so important:

​

1. Expanding Reach & Awareness

• By showing up at different events—whether climbing festivals, gym comps, outdoor industry expos, or grassroots gatherings—She Sends can introduce itself to new audiences who may not yet know about the collective.

• Being present in diverse spaces ensures that more climbers, particularly women and genderqueer individuals, learn about She Sends and the opportunities it provides.

2. Fostering Community & Connection

• Face-to-face interactions are powerful. Tabling provides a chance to meet climbers where they are, hear their experiences, and cultivate meaningful relationships.

• Creating an inviting, engaging booth space can help She Sends become a recognizable and trusted presence in the climbing world.

3. Generating Interest in Programs & Education

• Tabling offers a platform to showcase She Sends’ educational resources, clinics, and mentorship opportunities.

• It’s an opportunity to explain the mission in person, answer questions, and provide clarity on how climbers can get involved.

4. Building Partnerships & Collaborations

• Connecting with other organizations, gyms, and brands at events can open doors for future collaborations, sponsorships, and support.

• Establishing She Sends as a visible and engaged entity in the climbing community strengthens its credibility and ability to grow.

5. Empowering More Climbers

• Representation matters. When climbers see She Sends tabling at events, it sends a message that we belong in the climbing community.

• It provides an opportunity to inspire and empower individuals by sharing stories, resources, and encouragement.

By participating in a variety of events, She Sends ensures that its mission of education, connection, and empowerment reaches as many climbers as possible, making a real impact on the climbing community.
