In a vibrant fusion of expertise and enthusiasm, the Triathlon Industry Association (TIA), in partnership with the Running Industry Alliance (RIA), has announced that none other than Annie Emmerson, the voice that has adorned BBC Sport and the international triathlon stages, will steer the helm as host of the very first Triathlon Industry Conference (TIC24).
The event is slated to unfold in the heart of England, in Loughborough, on a crisp December day—the 9th, to be exact.
This isn’t just any gathering. The TIC24 is poised to be a powerhouse of insights, exclusively tailored for the stalwarts of the triathlon realm.
Nestled within the days of The Running Conference, this single-day event promises an unparalleled confluence of minds.
Picture this: a mélange of panel discussions pulsing with cutting-edge market research, piercing through the challenges and seizing the opportunities that face today’s triathlon industry.
And who better to orchestrate this symphony of ideas than Annie Emmerson herself? With a track record that spans three Olympics and countless supertri events, Emmerson is set to infuse the conference with her trademark dynamism.
“I am so excited to be a part of the inaugural Triathlon Industry Conference. The time is so right for the triathlon & multisport industry to get together to springboard a new phase of growth.
“My job is to connect conference panellists with the audience to bring to life a diverse amount of content, ideas and insights. I love to get into the nitty gritty of sport and it’s going to be a great day for all!”
The roster of attendees is as impressive as it gets, from the sinews of governing bodies to the brains behind brand giants and the nerves of media and travel mavens.
Confirmed participants include influential entities like British Triathlon, IRONMAN, and Zoggs, alongside innovative upstarts like HUUB and MultiSport Research, promising a day rich with strategic networking and lively exchanges.
Dive into discussions like ‘The State of the Triathlon Industry,’ where titans such as Ruth Daniels of British Triathlon and Dean Jackson of HUUB will lay bare their insights. It’s not just a conference; it’s a springboard for what’s next in triathlon.
Spaces are filling with the speed of a sprint finish, and with attendance exclusive to TIA members, the clock is ticking to secure a spot at this inaugural summit.
For those on the pulse of the industry or looking to leave their mark, December 9 isn’t just another day—it’s a doorway to the future of triathlon.
