Triathlon Business International (TBI), the industry organization dedicated to promoting the sport and the business of triathlon, has confirmed that registration is open for its second global conference on 9-11 July, held in conjunction with DATEV Challenge Roth, Germany, on 12 July.
Registration will be powered by Lapio’s cloud-based software that ‘seamlessly combines all the features needed to provide attendees with the best registration management system possible today.’
Following on from TBI’s inaugural global triathlon conference in London, the second TBI global conference will target global equipment and apparel manufacturers, service providers, technology providers, industry executives, event directors, coaches and other professionals who operate in the swim-bike-run world.
The conference will focus on the business of the sport – trends; challenges; growth forecasts; promoting the sport; new technology; social media and mobile trends; international mergers/acquisitions; and other topics designed specifically to bring insights into the market forces that shape the globalization and growth of triathlon, and its related sports of swimming, biking and running.
“We are proud to partner with TBI and Challenge Family to provide registration services for the 2nd global conference,” said Lapio founder Klaus Preisler. “With customers located all over the world, it made complete sense for us to be a part of this event, bringing industry leaders together at a global level.”
Online registration powered by Lapio will be available through the morning of 10 July. TBI members who register for the conference will also have the opportunity to purchase a Challenge Roth VIP package at a discounted price. These are premium packages and only 100 are available.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for TBI, Lapio and Challenge Family to work collaboratively to bring together some of the world’s triathlon decision-makers at the world’s largest long-distance event,” said TBI President Jack Caress.
“With so many European multisport leaders already headed to Challenge Roth in July, it made perfect sense to create a summit where triathlon leaders can network, acquire new information to advance their business and the business of triathlon, and witness the incredible Challenge Roth on Sunday.”
In addition to Challenge Family and Lapio, the conference is sponsored by Quintana Roo, Ashworth Awards and FinisherPix.
Triathlon Business International is ‘the world’s leading organization dedicated to promoting the sport and business of triathlon.’ Founded by a coalition of industry leaders, TBI’s mission is to leverage the knowledge, talent and resources of the leaders in triathlon to the benefit of the sport by increasing and retaining advocates of triathlon and fostering a positive image of the sport.
TBI’s second Global Business Conference will be held on 9-11 July in Roth, Germany, in conjunction with Challenge Roth; and TBI will once again host its 25,000 sq ft Triathlon Pavilion at Interbike on 16-18 September 2015.
Lapio is positioned as the ‘go-to software solution for race organizers and timers who want to provide awesome race experiences for participants and spectators.’ The company’s software combines race management, results, social engagement, photo sharing, geotracking and mobile into one, easy-to-use, integrated solution.
The Challenge Family series of triathlons features 44 full and half distance races in 19 countries around the world, including the world’s largest long distance triathlon – Challenge Roth in Germany. The birthplace of Challenge Family, Challenge Roth now features over 5,500 athletes and 220,000 spectators and is home to both world records held by Andreas Raelert (GER) and Chrissie Wellington (GBR).

Together they aim to provide athletes with a new experience of long distance racing – with a strong focus on athlete and spectator experience, giving back to the community while respecting the legacy of sport and being committed to its continued growth.
