Join us in celebrating the 10th anniversary of IMBA Europe at our annual summit in Val di Sole, June 1st- 4th. The IMBA Europe summit is a great opportunity for members, partners and the wider community to come together to learn from each other; discuss common problems and issues faced; and enjoy a great few days of mountain biking in a beautiful destination.
The main theme of the summit ‘Reframing mountain biking’ includes new perspectives on what is sustainable; challenging all speakers and participants to be open to new ideas and solutions to secure a bright future for mountain biking in all its aspects. Following on from the successful model of previous years, the topics covered at this year’s Summit will be divided into the following relevant subthemes:
- Sustainable trail design, construction & management
- The building blocks of mountain bike friendly places
