Anyone who registers to attend in person and falls sick in the days prior to the event will be offered a virtual registration and a 50% percent refund or a free transfer to next year’s National Bike Summit.

Failure to use a discount code upon registering does not entitle registrants to partial refunds for the difference in cost at a later time. Before you register, please email [email protected] if you believe you are eligible for a discount (Summit Sponsor, State Coordinator, etc.)
