The third annual BikeFest Spain, a fundraiser for professional AV and music industry charities, is returning in advance of the upcoming ISE 2024 show in Barcelona, with organizers seeking to raise more than the £50,000 the event tallied last year.
Organised by PLASA, #WeMakeEvents and AFIAL, BikeFest is seeking new members to join them for the upcoming ride as well as sponsors who are interested in aligning with industry values. The three-day route covering 360 km will begin in Valencia and travel along the Mediterranean coast via Peñiscola and Salou toward Barcelona. Once at ISE, the BikeFest team will be presented with their medals at a drinks reception where they can celebrate their achievement.
Team members will receive meals and accommodation as part of the entry fee. In addition, a support vehicle will on hand along the route and specialist bikes will be available for hire.
Nicky Greet, membership, skills & technical director for PLASA and member of the #WeMakeEvents steering group, says, “BikeFest has become a really valuable annual event, bringing together people from across the industry. Thanks to all those who sponsored the riders and the event in 2023. Not only do we raise money for a very worthy cause, everyone has a great time while doing it! I hope you’ll join in to help us beat the £50,000 raised last year!”
Juan Jose Vila, CMO and COO of Equipson and leader of #WeMakeEvents Spain, adds, “Last year’s BikeFest Spain surpassed all our expectations. When I suggested the idea of bringing BikeFest to Spain, I did not expect it to be so incredibly successful. Thank you to everyone who helped raise an incredible amount last year – can we do it all again in January? Join in and let’s make our industry proud!”
