Triathlon America, the industry organization dedicated to promoting the sport and the business of triathlon, today officially announced that registration is open for its second annual conference. The Triathlon America Conference will take place in San Diego, California on 19-21 February 2012 at the luxurious Rancho Bernardo Inn.
Last year nearly 300 individuals from race organizations, major brands and companies serving the triathlon industry gathered for the first time to meet and discuss issues and business opportunities within the sport of triathlon. “This is truly the only event for the triathlon industry that addresses the business of our sport, and we look forward to raising the bar even higher at the 2012 conference,” said Jack Caress, President of Triathlon America.
The first and only industry event devoted to the business of triathlon, the Triathlon America Conference will feature an impressive line-up of keynote speakers, valuable networking events, as well as seminars and panels critical to the industry.
The final night of the conference will be highlighted by the Triathlon America Awards Celebration that will honour the best companies, programs and athletes in the triathlon industry in 2011. This year’s celebration will also feature the Ron Smith Triathlete of the Year award. Named after one of triathlon’s earliest pioneers Ron Smith, the award recognizes a male or female triathlete who best demonstrates a combination of strong moral character, athletic performance and professionalism in the sport of triathlon.
