Inclusion Conference reimagined as Virtual Inclusion Conversations

Due to the ongoing COVID pandemic, USA Cycling has reimagined the originally planned Inclusion Conference and will now host a virtual inclusion conversation series, launching Friday September 10, 2021.

USA Cycling believes the practice of sport should be available to everyone yet, not everyone is being actively included, welcomed and protected within the sport. It is for this reason that USA Cycling is committed to playing an active role in leading the sport of cycling forward towards a more inclusive future. Firstly, through the launch of a virtual Inclusion Conversation Series.

Due to the ongoing COVID pandemic, USA Cycling has made the decision to pivot the originally planned two day Inclusion Conference to a virtual, monthly format until it is possible to safely host everyone in person.

Registration is FREE.

The reimagined inclusion series will still bring together representatives from every corner of the cycling industry to galvanize the resources, experiences and expertise necessary to move the sport forward. With a goal of creating a more inclusive sport of cycling for all, the series will focus on four key underrepresented communities in cycling: BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Disabled Athletes, and Women. USA Cycling hopes to foster a space where learning, growth and actionable commitment to inclusion can be established within the broader cycling industry through these conversations, trainings and eventual in person event(s). The original Conference Agenda will serve as a framework for the monthly conversations and individuals are invited to join us live and free for one or all the conversations.

USA Cycling is thankful to be working with The Inclusion Playbook, a highly influential and recognized sports impact consultancy, who shaped the original Conference Agenda and will oversee the organization and delivery of the series.
