CycleSummit Program

The CycleSummit Program combines cycling experiences, inspiring meetings and valuable networking opportunities. Over several days, participants come together for 1:1 meetings, shared lunches and dinners, and time to explore the region by bike.

From the arrival in Groningen to the Marketplace days and the Post-FamTrips, the program creates the perfect environment to connect, exchange ideas and build new partnerships within the cycling tourism community.

On Sunday we explore the region of Groningen by bike. The excursion offers the perfect opportunity to experience the landscape of the northern Netherlands while continuing the conversations from the previous evening.

Along the route we will stop for lunch, enjoy the scenery and create plenty of time for informal networking with fellow participants.
