(ATR) USA Triathlon and Triathlon Business International (TBI) announce Endurance Exchange, an annual industry-wide conference that combines multiple pre-existing events.
Endurance Exchange will be in Tempe, Arizona from January 23-25, 2020. It replaces the TBI Annual Conference, which was initially scheduled for the same time and place. Endurance Exchange also will include two former events hosted by the USA Triathlon -- the USA Triathlon Race Director Summit and the Art and Science of Triathlon International Coaching Symposium.
"At USA Triathlon we heard from our constituents that it was challenging to manage several conferences on the calendar each year, and we realized it was time to think bigger-picture,"USA Triathlon CEORocky Harris said in a statement.
"More importantly, we recognize the value in coming together with TBI to create a collaborative environment for all industry members — enabling coaches, retailers, corporations, race directors, clubs, officials and athletes to learn from each other and share best practices."
Registration is open at enduranceexchange.com, and early bird pricing is available now for $350 per person. A complete schedule, speaker line-up and additional event details will be announced in the coming months.
