Spaces Filling Fast for the Inaugural Triathlon Industry Conference

The inaugural edition of the Triathlon Industry Conference powered by Scimitar (TIC24) is nearing a sell-out, with a stellar panel lineup featuring industry leaders such as Ruth Daniels (British Triathlon CEO), Annie Emmerson (BBC Olympic Commentator), and Francesca Barber (Comic Relief). The Triathlon Industry Association (TIA) announced the panel for TIC24, set to take place in partnership with the Running Industry Alliance in Loughborough, UK, on Monday, 9th December. This event aims to address the challenges and opportunities in the post-pandemic evolution of triathlon.

Dynamic Discussions and Networking Opportunities

With a focus on “dialogue, not monologue,” TIC24 promises engaging panel discussions and valuable networking opportunities. Annie Emmerson, a three-time Olympic commentator, will host the event, ensuring dynamic discussions. Key panels include:

  • The State of the Industry: Ruth Daniels, Iain Hamilton (Founder, The Outlaw), John Lunt (London 2012 Olympic Triathlon Competition Manager), and Gary Roethenbaugh (Founder, MultiSport Research) will explore participation trends and the future of triathlon.
  • Reaching the Audience: Bianca Fernandez-Clark (Chair, Fund Her Tri UK), Tim Lloyd (MD, Always Aim High Events), and Nick Shakinovsky (Chief Content Officer, T100 Triathlon World Tour) will discuss media strategies to grow multisport participation.
  • Growing the Community: Francesca Barber, Andy Biggs (Durham Triathlon Club), Philip Hatzis (Tri Training Harder), and Phil Murphy (Total Tri Training) will examine the roles of clubs, coaches, and charities.
  • Innovation & Sustainability: Raya Usher (TriDot), Jon Rew (Scimitar Sportswear), Andrew Pirie (FORM), and Rei Lalo (TRIHARD) will address sustainability and innovation in endurance sports.
  • Where Next for Triathlon?: Richard Belderok (Challenge Family), Olga Correia (supertri), Brendan Fox (Destination Sport Experiences), and James Shipley (ATW Events) will call for action to ignite growth in the sport.

Unmissable Insights and Opportunities

Iain Hamilton, Chair of the Triathlon Industry Association, emphasized the significance of the conference, stating, “With a packed itinerary and some of the brightest minds in the industry, TIC24 offers an unmissable chance for stakeholders to come together. Whether you’re a governing body, event organizer, coach, or brand, this conference will deliver insights and opportunities you won’t find anywhere else.”

TIA members from various organizations, including 113 Events, 220 Triathlon, British Triathlon, Challenge Family, Comic Relief, IRONMAN, and many more, have already confirmed their participation. As spaces are limited and local hotels are quickly filling up, TIC24 is expected to sell out soon.
