Introducing: CycleSummit Sports 2026 – March 7–10, Oudenaarde, Belgium

Built on the proven CycleSummit concept, this spring edition offers a fresh platform for networking, partnerships, and inspiration within the sport travel community. Hosted in Oudenaarde, the heart of the Tour of Flanders, participants can look forward to scenic rides, authentic Belgian hospitality, and a familiar marketplace format.

What you can expect
About the CycleSummit
Since 2009, once a year international tour operators (buyers and sellers) get together to meet, network, start new cooperations and businesses and share ideas and products. In 2026 the first CycleSummit Sports edition will be held in Oudenaarde, Flanders (Belgium). This summit is an exclusive event for sport cycle tour operators
Who attends?
The participants are sport cycling tour operators. The majority are not only organizing own tours, but are also interested in buying new tours from others.
The CycleSummit is also a place for regions to present their sport cycling products and all kind of sport cycling experts.
Can I only attend to one of the workshop days?
The framing program contains a lot of social activities that support networking and getting to know each other. If you miss this part the 1:1 meetings on Monday/Tuesday are by far less effective for you, but also for the others. We do not give any discounts if you’re missing the weekend activities and highly recommend to join for the full program.
How is it organized?
We provide small tables for the 1:1 meetings. These meetings on Monday morning are pre-scheduled – perfect for getting to know each other quickly, while leaving enough time in the afternoon and on Tuesday to dive deeper into discussions. There’s no rush, unlike at large trade fairs.
To help you prepare for the meetings, a comprehensive online tool (b2match) supports networking, along with a detailed conference catalog containing all participant profiles and contact details.
