SCOTTISH MOUNTAIN BIKE CONFERENCE 2022 – LEADING THE WAY
3RD TO 5TH NOVEMBER, TECA, ABERDEEN
We are delighted to bring you the 2022 Scottish Mountain Bike Conference, in person and, in partnership with the North East Adventure Tourism Project (NEAT) from 3rd to 5th November 2022 at North East Scotland’s state of the art events venue, P&J Live (TECA).
Titled ‘Leading The Way’, the 3 day conference will feature several global mountain bike leaders, exciting announcements, global media trips, discussion and consultation on the future of Scottish mountain biking, and update on the progress under the Scottish MTB Strategy 2019 – 2025 and debate how we create a sustainable future for mountain biking support in Scotland.
The conference will also showcase and discuss the contribution of mountain biking in Scotland to social and environmental objectives and sustainable economic development. Highlighting to an international audience, the excellent mountain biking which exists in Aberdeenshire and across Scotland.
The opening day (3rd November) will focus on planning for the future for those involved in mountain biking tourism, product development, and the sustainable economic growth of the sport. An exciting line up of speakers from industry leaders to academics and sector experts will be presenting and discussing macro challenges and opportunities which are being played out on a global scale. The first day will close with a social evening with a DJ set, delicious street food options, local beverages, and an exhibition, held at the P&J.
Day two (4th November) will focus on how we sustainably grow participation in mountain biking and continue to develop a world class athlete development system. A full programme of inspirational speakers and informative workshops will be delivered during the day and the day will close with the much-anticipated Scottish MTB Awards. A chance for all to celebrate the very best of Scottish mountain biking.
The last day of the conference (5th November) will offer delegates and volunteers the opportunity to attend a variety of trail building case studies, across Aberdeenshire, to view good practice and discuss how the right trails can be built, in the right places and managed by the right people.
DMBinS will be the lead organiser of the event utilising their experience of delivering award winning international conferences. DMBinS will be in working partnership with The North East Adventure Tourism Project (NEAT). NEAT is a local partnership project supported by Opportunity North East, Scottish Enterprise, Visit Aberdeenshire, Scottish Cycling and Aberdeenshire Council which aims to support and grow the local adventure tourism economy. The success of this partnership project has been instrumental in establishing Aberdeenshire as a key destination for mountain bike tourism and has had a hugely beneficial impact on the local economy. Further support and input will be provided by Scottish Government, Edinburgh Napier University, Mountain Bike Centre of Scotland (MTBCoS), and leading industry figures to deliver an exceptional conference.
We look forward to once again hosting an international audience of delegates representing a wide spread of countries across the globe.
