To see ourselves as others see us ...

This event is designed to raise awareness of opportunities in mountain biking product and service development and start you on the journey to bringing ideas to life.

 

It will showcase Scottish products already in the market. You will hear from companies already capitalising on the growth of the sport, and be able to take part in an "inspiration to action" session. You will also have the chance of an informal one-to-one clinic with an expert to discuss your idea.

 

Admission is free

*At the November 2011 D&G tourism conference, DD&G asked the region's tourism industry if they would be willing to pay to attend the next DD&G conference. The overwhelming response was yes, but only if the money raised was for DD&G's sustainability. DD&G is now applying a £15 (incl VAT) charge per delegate to attend this conference BUT SAVE £5 BY PAYING BEFORE RATHER THAN AT THE CONFERENCE. All funds raised will be held for future sustainability, specifically to be able to hold future workshops and networking; will not offset any of the costs of this conference; and will not be shared with partners.
