Two Events.
One Outdoor Movement.

The Gateway Outdoor Expo and Gateway Outdoor Summit bring together consumers, brands, nonprofits, and industry leaders from across St. Louis and the Midwest.

The Expo celebrates outdoor recreation through gear, activities, and hands-on experiences.

The Summit shapes the future through ideas, leadership, and expanding access to outdoor recreation.

Together, the events connect people, spark collaboration, and help grow a stronger and more inclusive outdoor community.

What People Are Saying

  • “I really like the product, gear, and equipment booths. A chance for hands-on access to some things I don’t get to play with every day is fun. That’s a big part of the draw, and I would love to see even more.”
    Gateway Outdoor Expo Attendee
  • “We connected with many organizations and people that value nature and the outdoors, just like we do at our school. We also connected with other vendors that would be a great fit for some school activities all around Missouri.”

  • “Putting on an event like this is hard, often thankless, work. The Summit shifted my opinion on our access to outdoor activities in eastern Missouri and opened me up to a community of people I wouldn’t otherwise know how to meet.”
