TULSA, Oklahoma. – September 8, 2026 – USA BMX and BMX Canada are thrilled to announce that the 2027 Track Operator Summit will take place in Rock Hill, South Carolina, from February 17th to 19th, 2027. Centered around the state of the art Rock Hill Sports & Event Center, this highly anticipated symposium will bring together track operators from across North America for an inspiring, educational, and collaborative event aimed at strengthening local BMX communities.

The USA BMX & BMX Canada Track Operator Summit has a rich history of uniting track leaders to network, share ideas, and learn from industry experts. Following the massive success of the 2025 Summit held at the USA BMX Headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and historic gatherings in Las Vegas in 2016 and Louisville, Kentucky in prior years, the organization is incredibly excited to bring the 2027 event to the East Coast.

There is no host city more fitting for this gathering than Rock Hill. Living up to its city slogan, "Competition Lives Here®," Rock Hill is a legendary backdrop for the sport of BMX. The city boasts a world-class pedigree, having proudly hosted two UCI BMX World Championships, multiple UCI BMX World Cups, and more than a decade of the celebrated USA BMX Carolina Nationals.

The core focus of the 2027 Summit will be heavily centered around educating and engaging the very people who make the sport possible: the track operators. Operating under the official theme "Collaborate and Grow," the 2027 event will be all about empowering local leaders. This year, education will be highly peer-led, with track operators taking the stage to guide sessions, share real-world experiences, and collaborate with their peers to solve problems and brainstorm fresh ideas.

Guided by the vision of CULTIVATING INNOVATION, CONNECTING TRACKS, the 2027 Summit will provide attendees with:

• EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS: Gain best practices in track management, safety, and rider programs.

• COLLABORATION: Network with fellow track operators from across the United States & Canada.

• WORKSHOPS: Learn practical skills for volunteer engagement, marketing, and revenue growth.

• CAMARADERIE: Build lasting relationships within the national and international BMX community.

• TRACK DEVELOPMENT: Discover new ideas and trends to enhance your local facility.

"By leaning on each other's expertise and focusing on peer-led education in a city that truly understands BMX racing, our track operators will leave Rock Hill energized, educated, and equipped to grow the sport in their local communities."
