Interbike- No Bicycle Collective Network booth provided this year
Hi All, Since last I mentioned going to Interbike on this list, I have tried to communicate regularly with our normal contacts and elsewhere to secure a booth for the BCN, with the help of Jeff at Alliance for Walking and Biking. After citing concerns that there wasn't enough space provided for non-profits in the new convention center, Interbike ultimately never got back to me, and in the end Jeff was only able to secure a 6ft booth for the Alliance. Because of this, the Bike Collective Network won't have a booth and we at the Utah Bike Collectives won't be going this year. I hope this doesn't stymie anyone's trip. After the dust settles I'll try and get to the bottom of why booth space and passes weren't forthcoming.
Thanks,
David Eyer Davis Executive Director Bicycle Collective c: 801-230-6308 www.bicyclecollective.org
