USA Cycling will be conducting its first annual Mountain Bike Promoters Summit, November 14-16 in Colorado Springs. The summit is open to all promoters, team managers, industry stakeholders and officials, and will offer informational sessions, as well as the opportunity to share best practices. Held in conjunction with the USA Cycling National Racing Calendar Promoters Summit, the event will begin on Friday evening with a mixer involving USA Cycling staff, Board members and all attendees. The sessions will held at the Olympic Training Center and will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Sunday.

There is no cost to attend the summit; however participants will be responsible for their own housing and meals. Dorm-style accommodation will be available at the Olympic Training Complex (OTC) for $40/day (includes housing and three meals/day).
