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 bring together leaders, practitioners, partners and communities from across Scotland's mountain biking sector to launch the Strategy for Scottish Mountain Biking 2026–2036 and explore what its ambitions mean in practice. This is a not-to-be-missed, one-day event, crammed full of insight, inspiration, debate and practical ideas, bringing together the people shaping the future of mountain biking in Scotland.

From trails, destinations and infrastructure to health and wellbeing, inclusion, skills, innovation and performance, the conference will showcase what is already happening across Scotland and explore the opportunities ahead.

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. As we launch the Strategy, the conference is designed to move beyond ambition and ask the important question: what does delivery look like in practice?

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.
