About the Gathering

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
