A new session just added – ‘Think Change’
Interest in mountain biking has been increasting at an incredible rate. One of the problems of this frenetic pace has meant very real challenges for land managers and mountain bike enthusiast alike. ThinkChange is a brainstorm series brought to the conference by Change Advertising. It was created to distil, reshape and express information in ways that are relevant, original and impactful. Take part and your ideas will become part of the “Great Shift Forward” – a document that will shape the future of mountain biking. There will be four ThinkChange sessions at the conference, with limited seating.
