THE VENUE
A UNIQUE, MODERN AND COMFORTABLE EVENT SPACE
The COi will take place in the heart of downtown Bentonville, Arkansas at the event venue Record, a renovated mid-century car dealership that still retains style attributes from the period. The venue is located just blocks away from bike shops and Bentonville’s renowned trails and bike paths network.
OUR MISSON
The Cycle of Influence Summit has been specifically created to generate a convergence of ideas from all aspects of business, marketing, economics, environment, and trends that directly or indirectly affect the cycling industry. COI is not a trade show. Other cycling industry events such as the BLC, Sea Otter, Eurobike, CABDA, and Outerbike are still largely retail or consumer-oriented. COI will present an agenda of speakers and panels with endemic and non-endemic experts and influencers in their fields.
The presentations will target the ideas, experiences and, practices that can be applied in helping establish a stronger cycling industry and its businesses. COI is designed to inspire and inform all those who attend.
