What do zip lines, challenge courses, and aerial adventure parks have in common?

They all benefit from strong industry standards!

October 14, is World Standards Day, a day to recognize the people and organizations working together to develop standards that improve safety, quality, and consistency around the world.

At ACCT International, that work is at the heart of what we do.

Since 1994, ACCT has helped shape our industry by developing standards for the design, installation, maintenance, and management of challenge courses, aerial adventure parks, and zip lines.

And this work never stops.

As our industry grows and practices change, so do the challenges we face. That's why ACCT International brings together industry professionals, technical experts, and other stakeholders to continually review and improve our standards.

We're proud to be an ANSI Accredited Standards Developer, a designation we've maintained since 2006.

But standards don't write themselves.
They take countless hours of research, discussion, collaboration, and volunteer effort from people who care deeply about our industry's future.

So today, we're celebrating the people behind the standards.

To every volunteer, committee member, technical expert, and industry professional who has contributed to this work, THANK YOU!

Your efforts help build a stronger, safer, and more professional industry for everyone.

WHERE ARE YOU WEDNESDAY?!‽

Share your picture of where you're working from today in the "Where Are You Wednesday?" ACCT photo-sharing game!! Let's see if your friends will like your photo and help you win a prize.

HOW TO PLAY
1) The game will be opened NOW
2) You choose ONE picture you have taken of where you are THIS WEDNESDAY. It can be on course, at the office, job site, etc. You do NOT have to be in the photo, and a location and description of the photo are encouraged.
3) You enter the contest by posting your photo in the comment section of THIS "Where Are You Wednesday?" post. Entries will be accepted all of Wednesday in the Mountain Time Zone (US).
4) ACCT Facebook fans will scroll through the comments and vote by liking their favorite photos. Voters can like as many photos as they want, and begging for likes via social media is allowed. BE SURE TO SWITCH YOUR VIEW TO "All Comments" so Facebook's determination of what is "Most Relevant" doesn't sway your voting!
5) Voting ends Friday at 9:00 am Mountain Time Zone (US) The photo with the most reactions from verifiable individuals at that time wins. You may vote for your own, but your vote may be discounted to help break ties.
6) The winner will get an awesome ACCT logo prize mailed directly to them. (Remember to send us your address after each win if you want a prize😀)
