2:00pm-2:45pm: RunSignup and AI

3:30pm-5:00pm: Reception
Nope. This is free for everyone, including Running USA attendees and local St. Louis race directors and timers.
Yes! Please respect the hotel spaces that are reserved for Running USA attendees, but everyone is welcome to attend the RunSignup Roadshow session.
Yes! While we'd love to see you for the whole session, we understand that there is a lot going on at Running USA. You are welcome to come for as much as you are able.
Great question! We don't know (for sure), yet. Why? AI is moving so fast (and RunSignup with it) that we don't want to box ourselves in - we want to make sure we can cover the latest and greatest updates! We'll update with more details as we get closer.
Yes. We want to have a (rough) count of how many people to expect to ensure adequate space. You can always update us via the Contact Us form if plans change.
Study Hall & Personal Questions
Yup! Bring your list of questions and your laptop to Study Hall (12pm-1pm) and one of our team members will be happy to sit down with you and answer as many as possible. Can't make it at 12? We can also answer questions during the reception from 3:30pm-5:00pm.
Of course! We'll be at Running USA throughout the duration of the conference. Simply email johanna@runsignup.com and we'll setup a meeting with you and a team member at a convenient time.
AI Chatbots
A customize RunSignup AI Chatbots can significantly reduce your email support by instantly answering participant questions. The time spent setting it up is earned back (quickly)!
Most events should easily be able to create their FAQ, customize their AI Chatbot, and put it to work answering questions during the allotted 45 minutes. We always recommend reviewing answers and providing retraining/refining throughout the registration cycle, but you should be able to get up and running during the live workshop.
More Questions
The reception portion will run from 3:30pm-5:00pm. We'll have drinks on-hand (on us) and are happy to chat and catch up, introduce customers with similar interests and challenges, or sit down to review specific questions.
Great question! We don't know, yet. Why? AI moves fast, and RunSignup is moving fast with it. We want to decide later exactly what to cover so we can show you the latest and greatest AI tools.
In the State of the Industry session at 3:00pm, we will cover all the data from our 2025 races and make data-driven recommendations for 2026 events. Get a sneak peek!
