OWAA provides members (and sometimes non-members) access to professional development content to help improve your craft, stay up to date on the latest and greatest achievements in the outdoors and outdoors industries and attain new story ideas. Non-members that attend OWAA events and then decide to join later can have the registration fee for the event attended subtracted from the price of their annual dues. OWAA events include:
- An annual, in-person conference (generally in the June/July time frame)
- An annual virtual event in February
- A series of webinars throughout the year
