New Bicycle Industry Summit Launches November 18–21 in Partnership with El Tour de Tucson

March 11, 2026

A Modern Gathering for Cycling Leaders, Race / Ride Directors, and Community Builders

Tucson, AZ (March 11, 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – A new national gathering for cycling professionals will debut this fall as the Bicycle Industry Summit launches November 18–21, 2026, in Tucson, Arizona, in partnership with El Tour de Tucson.

Created to serve the evolving needs of the cycling business community, the Bicycle Industry Summit introduces a fresh, integrated format that combines industry education, high-level networking, and real-world event participation into one immersive experience.

Unlike traditional conference models, the Summit is intentionally aligned with El Tour de Tucson and 3-Day Expo and Fiesta — one of the most established and participatory cycling events in the country — placing industry leaders directly inside the energy, culture, and community that fuel the sport.

“This is not just another conference,” said TJ Juskiewicz, Executive Director of Perimeter Bicycling. “We’re building a modern industry gathering designed around connection, collaboration, and shared experience. By aligning with El Tour de Tucson, we’re bringing leaders together where cycling is actually happening.”

A New Model for Industry Connection

The three-day Summit will convene executives, brand founders, event directors, advocacy organizations, media professionals, and professional athletes from across the cycling ecosystem.

Programming will feature:

● Visionary keynote presentations

● Executive panel discussions

● Curated roundtable conversations

● Industry trend analysis and consumer insights

● Structured networking experiences

● Sponsor activations and brand showcases

● Opportunities to ride, volunteer, or engage in El Tour weekend festivities

The speaker lineup will include respected industry leaders, innovative entrepreneurs, and professional athletes who are shaping the next chapter of cycling across events, media, advocacy, and endurance sport.

Built for Where the Industry Is Headed

The launch of the Bicycle Industry Summit comes at a pivotal moment. As the cycling industry continues to evolve — adapting to new consumer behaviors, retail models, and community-driven growth strategies — there is a renewed need for collaboration and forward-thinking leadership.

By embedding the Summit within an established marquee event, organizers aim to foster more meaningful relationships and actionable conversations. Attendees won’t just discuss participation trends and community engagement — they’ll experience them firsthand.

El Tour de Tucson attracts thousands of riders and generates significant economic and cultural impact each year, providing a powerful backdrop for industry leaders to gather, learn, and collaborate.

Registration for the inaugural Bicycle Industry Summit is now open, with early announcements on speakers and programming to follow.
