RunSignup has announced the 2025 Timer Education Summit, taking place in Tampa, Florida, on January 28-29, 2025.
Designed for timers at all experience levels, the summit offers an opportunity to deepen knowledge and sharpen skills using RunSignup’s RaceDay Real-Time products. Over the course of one and a half days, attendees will gain insights through targeted educational tracks, certifications, and hands-on sessions.
The summit is targeted at both new timers and seasoned professionals. The program offers an opportunity to onboard new timing staff at an accelerated pace. Attendees will also benefit from one-on-one time with RunSignup’s team and opportunities to network with fellow timers.
There are two educational tracks to choose from:
Introductory Educational Track
Tailored for onboarding new staff or timers just starting out, this covers the essentials of the endurance event industry and introduces RunSignup’s suite of timer technology. Participants can gain the skills and confidence needed, with certifications awarded upon completion.
Advanced Educational Track
For experienced timers who have already completed RunSignup’s certification courses, this track delves into complex scenarios using RunSignup’s RaceDay Real-Time products, expert troubleshooting techniques, and strategies for expanding a timing business with RunSignup’s tools.
Timers can swap back and forth between tracks as needed.
In addition to these learning opportunities, attendees will have access to members of RunSignup’s development, support, and sales teams, allowing for personalized guidance and feedback. The summit will also foster networking among timers, encouraging the exchange of ideas and business-building relationships.
“Staying competitive in the endurance event space requires constant learning,” said Bob Bickel, RunSignup’s Founder and CEO. “The Timer Education Summit is designed to give timers practical, hands-on training with our RaceDay Real-Time products. These tools are essential for providing real-time data, improving race day efficiency, and enhancing the overall participant experience. Whether you’re looking to expand your skills or grow your business, this summit equips timers with the knowledge they need to be successful in a competitive marketplace.”
