Here is the big line-up for the 2019 Ride Congress

The Ride Congress is just around the corner. And behind the door, participants can expect a top-class speaker line-up like never before. In the hallowed WEF halls of the Davos Congress Center on 19 and 20 September, well-known names such as: Markus Schröcksnadel (Feratel), Renato Fasciati (RhB), Claus Fleischer (Bosch), Andreas Züllig (hotelleriesuisse), Daniel Müller-Jentsch (Avenir Suisse) and the founder of Black Socks, Samy Liechti.

The headliners of the Ride Congress all make the ascent easier for mountain bikers. Markus Schröcksnadel is one of the most important mountain railway operators in the Alps, and Renato Fasciati, CEO of the Rhaetian Railway, is one of the most important railroad operators. Claus Fleischer will make climbing easier in a different way: as CEO of motor manufacturer Bosch, he knows the e-bike market like no other. The statements by Andreas Züllig and Daniel Müller-Jentsch, who will analyze alpine tourism and place it in the context of mountain biking, will also be interesting.
