Unveiling the Future of Triathlon: The Inaugural Triathlon Industry Conference Hosted by Annie Emmerson
In the heart of Loughborough, Central England, a new chapter in the triathlon world is set to unfold on December 9, 2024. The Triathlon Industry Association (TIA), in collaboration with the Running Industry Alliance (RIA), is thrilled to announce the inaugural Triathlon Industry Conference (TIC24). This event promises to be a pivotal gathering for those vested in the nuances and growth of the triathlon industry.
A Day of Insights and Innovations
TIC24 isn't just another conference. It's a dedicated day packed with insights specifically tailored for TIA members. The conference is strategically scheduled in conjunction with the established annual Running Conference, creating a unique synergy between the triathlon and running sectors. Attendees will have the opportunity to delve into the latest market research, explore pressing challenges, and uncover opportunities within the triathlon world through engaging panel discussions.
Annie Emmerson at the Helm
Leading the charge as the host of TIC24 is none other than Annie Emmerson, a name synonymous with excellence in sports commentary. With her extensive experience as a three-time Olympic commentator for BBC Sport and a prominent voice for the international triathlon event brand, supertri, Annie is perfectly poised to bridge the gap between the panel experts and the audience. Her enthusiasm for the sport and her expertise in engaging discussions are set to ignite a day filled with dynamic exchanges and groundbreaking ideas.
Networking: The Core of TIC24
What sets TIC24 apart is its focus on real, in-person connections. The conference will serve as a prime networking hub, where key stakeholders from the triathlon and broader run industries can connect, share insights, and forge partnerships. From national governing body representatives to event organizers, brands, coaching firms, and media—TIC24 is a melting pot of industry leaders and innovators.
A Lineup of Esteemed Panelists
The conference will feature a series of panels, including an opening session on the 'State of the Triathlon Industry'. Esteemed panelists such as Ruth Daniels, CEO at British Triathlon Federation; Iain Hamilton, Founder of The Outlaw; Dean Jackson, Founder of HUUB; and Gary Roethenbaugh, Founder at MultiSport Research, will share their invaluable perspectives and insights.

With limited spaces available, the call to action for TIA members is clear: join by the end of October to secure your place at this landmark event. TIC24 is more than just a conference—it's a springboard for growth and a testament to the vibrant future of the triathlon industry.
A Merger That Promises More
In July 2024, the TIA merged with the RIA, leveraging RIA’s established systems, networks, and offerings. This merger not only enhances TIA’s capabilities but also broadens the horizons for collaborative growth, underpinned by the natural connection between running and triathlon.
Empowering the Industry Together
The RIA, an independent member-based trade organization, continues to work closely with England Athletics to drive forward the sport and business of running. This collaboration with TIA is a strategic move to foster industry connections and drive collective growth.
