A big thank you to RunSignup for supporting the Bicycle Industry Summit this November in Tucson.

RunSignup has become an important resource for event directors and endurance organizations across the country, providing tools that help events grow, communicate better, and operate more efficiently.

We’re excited to have them involved as part of the conversation at the Summit alongside El Tour de Tucson week.

Looking forward to bringing together leaders from across the cycling and endurance event industry for a few days of networking, education, and collaboration.

Quick update on the Bicycle Industry Summit.

It’s coming together with a really solid group of event directors and industry folks. If you’re in the space, this is built for you.
It’s happening in Tucson this November alongside the El Tour de Tucson — so you can attend the Summit and ride or run all in the same week.

Heads up: hotels fill up fast that week, so worth booking sooner than later.

The Bicycle Event Directors Gathering is a coming together of bicycle event directors, promoters and professionals. This is a free networking event that is hosted by El Tour de Tucson and Bike the Bay San Diego.

For many years bicycle event directors gathered as part of the Bicycle Tour Network (BTN), the National Bicycle Tour Directors Association (NBTDA) and the Bicycle Ride Directors' Association of America (BRDAA) to name a few of associations that convened bike event professionals. Since COVID, there has been no mass gathering of bicycle ride directors. So we want to change that!

The mission of the Gathering is to provide a friendly, interactive forum to share ideas and concerns about promoting, producing and managing bicycle events in today's environment. Events include recreational rides, races, gran fondos, awareness rides, multi-day tours and small bike tours ridden on a variety of bicycles.

Discussion topics will include: Event Management / Route Planning / Permitting / Mapping / Medical / Aid Stations / Marketing & Promotions / Volunteers / Law Enforcement & Public Safety / Communications / Community Relations / Insurance / Registration / Accommodations & RVs / Merchandise / Sponsorship / Staffing / Financing & Budgeting / Grants / Awards / Media
