Angeles, CA – March 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / In
keeping with our mission of serving as the most vital resource for professionals
who organize and manage sporting events, SportsTravel
is proud to announce that we will be returning to Colorado Springs for
the third annual SportsTravel Road Trip. Sponsored by the
Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau, the SportsTravel Road Trip
will be held May 17– 18.
On
Tuesday, May 17, an afternoon of education will delve into topics that
all sports organization chief executives and event directors should have
on their radar. Held at the national headquarters of USA Cycling, the educational
program will be followed by a networking reception, which will allow attendees
to interact in an informal, intimate setting. On Wednesday, May 18, attendees
will have the opportunity to participate in the Colorado Springs Sports
Corp’s Golf Tournament, which will be held at the Country Club of Colorado
at Cheyenne Mountain Resort, situated at the base of the scenic Rocky Mountains.
The tournament will conclude with a luncheon and awards presentation.
 Derek Bouchard-Hall, the chief executive officer of USA Cycling, will serve as an expert presenter and facilitator of the SportsTravel Road Trip’s educational program. Bouchard-Hall took over at USA Cycling last year following the retirement of long-time president and CEO Steve Johnson. A former professional cyclist, Bouchard-Hall raced from 1994 to 2002, winning the 2000 U.S. Pro Criterium and competing that year at the Sydney Olympics. With degrees from Princeton and Stanford and an MBA from Harvard, he has worked for McKinsey, a management consulting firm, where he focused on designing and implementing change programs across a range of commercial and governmental organizations. He has also served as a key executive at Wiggle, the largest global online cycling and triathlon retailer. Bouchard-Hall’s background as an Olympian and professional athlete, combined with his experience in sports-related business makes him well versed in the various issues facing sports organizations. At the SportsTravel Road Trip, Bouchard-Hall will discuss ways to develop a high performance organizational culture. Attendees will also have the opportunity to tour USA Cycling’s headquarters building. The spacious facility features cycling imagery, artwork and memorabilia throughout, including in the state-of-the-art meeting space where the educational sessions will be held.
