The 2026 CWA Summit – Better Education for All

CWA Summit education

If you work in indoor climbing, there’s one event each year where operators, routesetters, coaches, owners, and industry partners step out of their gyms and into the same room.

The CWA Summit is the annual gathering of the indoor climbing industry — built for the people shaping its future.

Whether you’re leading a team, refining your programs, scaling a facility, or setting the next comp block, the CWA Summit is where ideas get pressure-tested, partnerships form, and momentum builds.
