WOW. What a day we had! Thank you to all who showed up, engaged, and asked good questions today! And the Ohio Dragon Dream Team's roller coaster impression was one of my favorite moments too. High fives ladies, you rocked it! I'd love to know your biggest takeaways from today's sessions. I personally loved seeing the connections being made and the conversations taking place... and the validation that came out of those. SO many of you are doing so much RIGHT. I also loved Jim's Keynote and hearing about his philosophies and approaches to coaching. In the middle of my own documentation project, his words were especially apropos for that effort, and inspired me to make it even more impactful. Many of you mentioned that @Anne Baker's session was amazing... and I'm so glad to hear that. I'll be catching the replay tomorrow night, when my hips will REALLY be grateful for it. Your turn... what were some of your "ahas" from the day? #nov26summit

Hi everyone, I'm currently updating a dragon boat events calendar for 2027 events available here: Dragon Boat Events & Regattas Calendar | Dragon Boat Directory The aim of this page is to let it be a good reference tool that's easy to use for team leaders planning out their next paddling season. If there's an event that I'm missing, which is very likely the case as my event list is mainly located in North America, you can either submit the event here (New Event | Dragon Boat Directory) or share a link to the event website with a graphic + details and I will add it myself. Note that some organizers are still confirming their 2027 event dates, but I can still put a placeholder for that event if a month is known (guestimate it). As always, I'm open to suggestions and feedback.

This was my first year dragon boating and I’m hooked! I’m in TN with Tellico Heat Dragon Boat club. Looking forward to learning from others

Thank you everyone for your warm welcome! You are all an inspiration! I am interested in Drumming courses.
