2006 IMBA Summit/World MTB Conference

Join us at the IMBA Summit/World Mountain Bike Conference, June 20-23, in Whistler, B.C.

We're so excited to be hosting the event in Whistler, the ideal location for a global gathering of mountain bike advocates. It is a model city for every kind of riding, from beginner trails to epic cross-country riding and, of course, the world famous Whistler Mountain Bike Park.

There's just two weeks left to take advantage of Early Bird pricing specials (regular pricing begins April 1). By acting now, you'll save $100 per registrant. Or get a group together and register three people but pay for only two (the third can register after the Early Bird deadline).

This conference will truly be a global gathering, with speakers and delegates from around the world. The IMBA Summit/World Mountain Bike Conference will foster a dialogue that will help move forward the state of mountain biking trails worldwide.

The conference will feature three days of keynotes, plenary sessions, networking sessions and workshops. Below are some educational opportunities created specifically for trail advocates:

• Guided hikes and rides with Whistler trailbuilders
• Risk management and liability: today's legal issues, and how to protect yourself
• Communities and trails: making the connection
• Mountain bike skills parks from A to Z
• Proactive approaches to grassroots organizing
