Thanks to everyone attending the 2010 Park Tool Tech Summit

For a review of the Tech Summit, see the article linked here to Bicycle Retailer and Industry News.

The Park Tool Tech Summit is a series of HANDS ON training seminars for professional bicycle mechanics. Technical representatives from the world’s top manufacturers of bicycle components will teach the three-hour classes in a service area style setting. These are not just PowerPoint presentations. You will get your hands dirty.

There will be an entirely new curriculum for 2010. During the two-day conference, attendees will learn how to efficiently service the latest products and technology offered by companies like Shimano, SRAM, Hayes, Campagnolo, Fox, Avid and Mavic. Plus Park Tool will offer a class taught by Park Tool Lead Mechanic Calvin Jones.

 

The $195.00 fee includes all of the classes, materials, continental breakfast and lunch for two days. All three venues are located within minutes of their respective airports.
