The Bicycle Tour Network holds an annual national conference that allows members to meet and network with one another. The conference includes lectures, interactive sessions, group discussions and breakouts with a variety of topics related to the successful and safe administration of cycling events. The Bicycle Tour Network, formerly the National Bicycle Tour Directors Association, was formed more than 20 years ago by a small core of ride directors for professional development, marketing and networking purposes. It has grown to include more than 100 organizations that direct nearly 350 bicycle rides and tours across North America. The primary purpose of BTN is to bring together the directors, coordinators and organizers of multi-day bicycle tours throughout North America, Europe and Asia to share ideas, learn ways to improve their events and promote responsible cycling.
