The American Glamping Association (AGA) has scheduled a series of Lunch & Learn sessions through January 2027, featuring outdoor hospitality business founders and a presentation on reducing shipping costs for businesses.
The upcoming sessions will give participants opportunities to hear from industry entrepreneurs, exchange experiences and ask questions about business operations and challenges.
The series begins Nov. 18 at 11 a.m. Mountain time with an AGA Founder’s Stories session featuring Chris Jeub of Monument Glamping. The newly introduced format will highlight a different founder or business at each designated meetup, followed by an open discussion where attendees can ask questions, share experiences and exchange ideas.
Another session scheduled for Dec. 2 at 11 a.m. Mountain time will focus on reducing shipping expenses and losses. Ellen Riley Wong of DataDrivenSavings will lead the presentation, covering ways businesses can identify shipping overpayments, negotiate improved carrier agreements and reduce unnecessary costs across parcel and freight shipments.
The session will also address the importance of ongoing oversight of shipping expenses and how reviewing those costs can help businesses protect their bottom lines.
A second Founder’s Stories meetup is scheduled for Dec. 9 at 11 a.m. Mountain time. AGA is inviting members with business experiences to share to express interest in participating in the series.
The association has also announced a Jan. 13, 2027, Founder’s Stories session featuring Leslie Martin of Lagom Retreat. The meeting is scheduled for 11 a.m. Mountain time and will follow the same format, with a featured business representative and an opportunity for attendees to participate in discussions.
Beyond attending the sessions, AGA is encouraging outdoor hospitality professionals with relevant expertise to lead future Lunch & Learns.
The scheduled sessions are part of AGA’s effort to provide opportunities for industry members to exchange business experiences and discuss operational topics.
