Securing the Future of Climbing Walls – Risk, Insurance & What’s Coming Next

This session is an opportunity to have a practical, open conversation about the risks we’re facing as an industry, and how they tie into insurance, claims, and long-term sustainability.

There’s no question the climbing and bouldering world is growing fast. Walls are diversifying with everything from fun climbs to auto belays to activity-based play. The market is maturing — but the insurance space around it is tightening. We’re also still seeing the aftershocks of inflation, consolidation in the insurance market, and operational changes post-Covid.

All of this means we need to talk about how we stay resilient — not just this year, but over the next five, ten, fifteen.
