Scottish Mountain Bike Conference 2026 - The Next 10 Years Starts Here

FULL PROGRAMME COMMING SOON!

The Scottish Mountain Bike Conference returns on 11th November 2026, bringing the mountain bike community together in the heart of Scotland, Perth. The one-day conference will feature inspiring speakers from Scotland and beyond, with plenty of opportunities to share ideas, connect with others and help shape the next ten years of mountain biking in Scotland.

As we launch the Strategy for Scottish Mountain Biking 2026–2036, the conference is designed to move beyond ambition and ask the important question: what does delivery look like in practice?

The conference aims to:

Launch the next chapter for Scottish mountain biking - Officially launch the new 10-year strategy and create a shared understanding of its ambitions and priorities.

Show what the Strategy looks like in action - Hear from organisations, communities and individuals already delivering change across Scotland, sharing real projects, partnerships and approaches that can help bring the Strategy to life.

Connect the sector - Bring together people from across mountain biking, government, local authorities, land management, tourism, education, health, business, communities and the wider cycling sector to build stronger relationships and opportunities for collaboration.

Share ideas, experience and best practice - Learn from Scotland and beyond, showcasing innovation, investment and practical approaches to trails, destinations, participation, health, education and economic development.

Explore the challenges ahead - Create space for honest conversations about the issues that could shape delivery over the next decade – from climate resilience and biodiversity to funding, volunteering, changing participation and emerging technologies such as AI.

Turn conversation into action - Give delegates the opportunity to contribute their experience, identify opportunities and challenges, and help shape practical actions for the decade ahead.

Inspire people to play their part - Most importantly, leave delegates with ideas, connections and a clear sense of how they can contribute to delivering the Strategy for Scottish Mountain Biking 2026–2036.

Come and help shape the next ten years. Early bird tickets now available.
