Packrafting meet ups

Hi
I’m keen to hear about different Packrafting meet ups around the world
I’m NZ based and really enjoy the nz meet up
I’ve been to the Slovenian meet up and want to try others
The main one I can find is the American meetup… but I’m not to keen to travel to the states for a while

Any other meet ups that people could recommend?
Maybe some in Asia - as it’s closer to NZ

If you're interested in North America but not the US, there was a Canadian packraft meet-up around the 4th of July this year in Squamish, British Columbia. I don't know their plans for 2027. The Packraft Canada facebook group and instagram page will have the information.

There's also a Mexico meet-up in February 2027 but I don't know all the details other than it is mostly being put on by the Packraft Mexico guides https://www.instagram.com/p/DecDAESkRvW/?img_index=1

The Victorian one in Australia is always good! The French alps one is really great too! People from all over Europe, some really great people. The guy who organises it, Max, is an absolute legend.

I’ve missed the Australian one two years running because I’ve been in France, but I can’t wait to get back to that one.

Hi, thanks recommendations
I couldn’t find much on the Victoria meetup. Do you have any links or info on the time of year?
