European MTB Summit

European MTB Summit is a mixture of an informative conference and a fun festival and is 100% about MTB. Here you can learn about the latest in various fields directly and indirectly affecting MTB development during lectures, workshops, discussions and site visits. Between them there is outdoor program – sightseeing and activities with and on bicycles, including as much riding as possible to fit in the program. That combination of informative and fun makes it easy to network and share good practices with other participants, who come from various fields – mountain bike advocacy, trail building, bicycle industry, land management agencies, public authorities, tourism and others.
7th annual Summit takes place in Świeradów-Zdrój (Poland) and its theme is cooperation, especially that between bike communities, land managers and local governments. Świeradów-Zdrój is a perfect location for this topic, thanks to a vast variety of trails. Here speakers don’t have to be theoretical – they can just leave the hotel, get on a bike and have a discussion on real trails.
