Interbike puts brakes on venue change for 2011

USA - The organiser of cycle exhibition Interbike has reversed its decision to move the show from Las Vegas to Anaheim for 2011.

According to a statement, a move to Anaheim next August “was not a workable formula for the event’s attendees and exhibitors”.

"The announcement that we were moving the show dates and location elicited a very real response that surveys and discussions alone couldn't accomplish," added Interbike show director Andy Tomkins. "We are hearing loud and clear that, at this time, the industry prefers September dates and the convenience of Las Vegas."

This year saw 24,000 visitors on the show floor, which was three per cent higher than 2009. International attendance increased by 44 per cent as 1,872 international visitors hit the show floor.

Interbike 2011 will take place on 14 to 16 September in Las Vegas, Nevada.
