Sponsor the National Bike Summit!

In 2008, the Summit will continue to inspire, educate and inform national leaders about the importance of bicycling. The sponsorship listing below details the wide range of opportunities available to you. Selecting your sponsorship early allows us to maximize recognition of your company with marketing and public relations activities within and outside of the bicycling community.

As the premier educational, networking, and lobbying conference for bicyclists, the Summit will provide many opportunities for attendees to develop personal and professional relationships with each other, with sponsors, and with the vast network of advocates that have developed nationally and internationally after six successful Summits. We invite you to be an integral part of this network.

More than 450 attendees from across the country will participate in the eighth annual National Bike Summit. Participants include a large number of bicycle and bicycle accessory manufacturers, mass market and independent bicycle retailers, government professionals, and bicycling advocates.

A number of breakthrough techniques, practices, and processes will be shared and analyzed in the more than 20 presentations and tutorials offered over three days.

For additional sponsorship information, contact Mark Furuyama, Development Director, League of American Bicyclists, 202-822-1333 x222 or mark@bikeleague.org.
