On 7 and 8 January 2015, the 13th Infotech will take place in Lucerne - the association of Swiss bicycle suppliers "velosuisse" is organizing a broad training programme in the technical and business sector.

Once again with great demand
As in 2012, 2013 and 2014, the upcoming Infotech has been sold out for weeks. Two thirds of the registrations have been received from dealers and one third from suppliers. Around 900 people will be present over the two days at the AAL Armed Forces Training Center in Lucerne - and there will be a chronic lack of space for the top-class presentations. There will be no admission for spontaneous visitors to Infotech.

High range of workshops and seminars
In terms of workshops, Infotech 2015 will match last year's record: 26 (2014: 28) companies that are members of the Velosuisse Association will be organizing 70 technical workshops (53) and practical seminars (17). As usual, the further training spectrum ranges from product-related information and tips and tricks for craftsmen to business management and sales-oriented seminars.

Delivered a convincing panel discussion at Infotech 2014 and will take on this role again on January 7, 2015: Thommy May

Branch forum: Buschor, Graber, Burki
After the first day of training, the Arena industry forum will be held on the controversial topic of "The service desert of specialist bike dealers: imagination or fact?". The discussion will be led by Thommy May, Managing Director of LBU Schweiz GmbH Unternehmensberatung. The speakers will be Jürg Buschor (Outkomm.ch communications agency, Outdoorblog), Marius Graber (Velociped Bikeshop, Velojournal) and Reto Burki (Tropical Bikeshop)

Fancier dining at the evening program than before: "Evening Special"

No more canteen flair in the evening program
For the first time, the organizers are following up the expectedly well-attended industry forum with an "Evening Special": The evening program on the first day of the course will no longer take place in the AAL cafeteria in Lucerne as before, but about 300 meters opposite: The Motorex aperitif, dinner, a cinema film screening ("Dead Fucking Last") and a bike bar for the nightcap will take place in the Forum of the Lucerne Exhibition Centre. Around 111 people are registered for the "Evening Special".
