The World Indoor Climbing Summit (WICS) aspires to bring together the climbing community from all over the world to engage in meaningful discussions and presentations focused on the future prospects of the indoor climbing industry.

The summit encompasses a conference and an exhibition area, offering a platform for climbing gym owners to interact with potential suppliers and expand their professional network.

In its previous editions of 2018 and 2019, the panel discussions and networking events attracted nearly 300 climbing gym owners and other industry specialists.

WICS 2023 will be a primarily invitation-only conference event, commencing with the debut of the Set & Send Boulder Competition, a novel sport climbing format with emphasis on routesetting.
