EUROBIKE PINK WEDNESDAY
On the opening day of EUROBIKE, following the presentation of the EUROBIKE Award, we invite all decision-makers, mobility experts, representatives of the press and exhibitors to spend an unforgettable evening at our Networking Dinner with inspiring personalities from politics, sports and the mobility industry, rousing conversations at networking tables and keynotes that set new impulses. Good food and music as well as other activities to exchange ideas will of course not be missing.
As the first major event in the newly opened Massif Central in the old Bethmann Bank (Massif Central, Bethmannstraße 7-9, 60311 Frankfurt am Main), we bring together the personalities of the bicycle and mobility industry in an unconventional evening format in the middle of the city. Especially for the international guests who have traveled to the EUROBIKE CONVENTION, this is a good occasion to exchange ideas in a relaxed setting after the trade show day and to get to know people across industries and stakeholders. In a relaxed atmosphere, participants discuss the further development of the bicycle industry and its strengthening on an industrial, political and social level at curated tables
Networking is clearly the focus for us!
That's why we do without a rigid, fixed seating arrangement and look forward to discussions at topic tables, accompanied by our international table hosts.
The schedule of the evening:
6.30 pm Soft Opening
7.00 – 7.40 pm Opening + TED-Talks
7.40 pm – 8.30 pm Networking with the table hosts
8.30 pm Get-Together with DJ
