Momentum is building as the first Triathlon America Conference approaches, with over 180 leaders in the triathlon business community already committed to the February 27-March 1 event at La Jolla’s Estancia Hotel & Spa in California.
The conference begins on Sunday 27 February at 15:00, with Michael Kingston’s opening keynote address, ‘World Cup of Triathlon – 2020’.
