The Eurobike Digital Days conference took place from September 1-3, 2020 live from the Messe Friedrichshafen broadcasting studio in Germany.
Produced by the Eurobike trade show team, the three-day internet conference took place on the original date of the trade show. It presented the current and future challenges facing the international bike industry and aimed to provide inspiration and perspectives.
“The Eurobike Digital Days excelled with top-class themes, renowned experts, cutting-edge transmission technology and an international audience keen to actively join in,” says Klaus Wellmann, CEO at Messe Friedrichshafen. “We’re delighted with this successful first event and the important takeaways for all participants.”
The ‘Bike Biz Revolution – Conference for Visionaries’ session with moderator Frank Puscher and the Eurobike organisers kicked off the digital conference on Tuesday, 1 September.
In a welcoming video address, the Federal Minister of Transport Andreas Scheuer declared himself to be a great “fan of bike mobility”. He spoke of the need to create more lighthouse projects and further improve the inspirational attraction of bicycle transport in the coming years. He referred to personally seeing many new and interesting ideas and opportunities, but noted that “there is still a lot of work to be done.”
The second day was dedicated to ‘Start Up & Innovation’ and the entrepreneurial scene, while the 19th Travel Talk conference was held on the third day – 3 September – under the theme ‘City, region digital and the role of the bike in this mix’.
“With the Eurobike Digital Days, we wanted to offer an easily accessible platform, given the current situation, to enable important communication and exchange of ideas within the bike industry,” explained Head of Eurobike Stefan Reisinger.
“The positive feedback from our expert speakers and participants shows that we got it right. We’re delighted that many of our customers are really open to a new, digital format.”
The live get-together Eurobike Special 2020 takes place from November 24-26, in Friedrichshafen exclusively for trade visitors.
