South Carolina Motorcycle Rights Association

40th Annual
Meeting of the Minds
September 26 - 29, 2024

A Training Ground for the Future of Motorcycling

The success of this year’s Bikers Inside the Beltway has a direct correlation between the hands-on training sessions that the Motorcycle Riders Foundation is known for and the end results on Capitol Hill.

With another record attendance (over 150 attendees from 37 states), motorcyclists’ rights advocates spread out from one side of Capitol Hill to the other. Appointments were made with over 200 members of Congress and before the day was over, MRF legislative packets were presented to all 535 congressional offices.

The preparation for Bikers Inside the Beltway 2024 started in advance of Meeting of the Minds 2023. That same attitude of advance preparation is already in place for Bikers Inside the Beltway 2025. General session and workshop agendas are being developed for the 40^th Annual Meeting of the Minds Conference on September 26-29.

A lot has changed in the forty years since the first Meeting of the Minds. For the past 15 years, Bikers Inside the Beltway has been an annual mainstay that sends a clear message to Congress – the Motorcycle Riders Foundation is the premier motorcyclists’ rights advocacy group on Capitol Hill, with an ever-increasing track record of success.

The Meeting of the Minds has evolved from a ‘get acquainted’ meeting to a 16-workshop training session for motorcyclists’ rights advocates. Although this year’s Meeting of the Minds will be a celebration of forty years of accomplishments, the conference’s primary focus will be on strengthening state motorcyclists’ rights organizations and preparation for Bikers Inside the Beltway 2025.

Preliminary presentations for Meeting of the Minds 2024 include, but are not limited to the following:

• Developing the legislative agenda for 2025 Bikers Inside the Beltway
• Building Effective Social Media
• Civics 101 – A freedom fighter refresher course
• Leadership Principals

It’s early, but not too early to make your reservations. Mark your calendar for September 26-29, and make your reservations now!

The successes of the Motorcycle Riders Foundation can be directly linked to the grassroots activism training received at the Meeting of the Minds. The future of motorcycling depends on you and how that training is applied. We look forward to seeing you in St. Louis at the 40^th Annual Meeting of the Minds!
