For 2026, the spotlight turns to one of the sport's most influential thinkers.

Josh Poertner — owner of SILCA, former Technical Director at Zipp Speed Weaponry and host of the acclaimed Marginal Gains Cycling Podcast — will present two exclusive sessions across the SPOKEN weekend.

Drawing on decades spent at the highest levels of professional racing and product development, Josh will take audiences behind the curtain of elite performance, innovation and the relentless pursuit of marginal gains. Expect technical insights, untold stories from the WorldTour, lessons from product development, and reflections on the culture and craft that continue to shape cycling.

Whether you're fascinated by performance, engineering, design or simply the stories that make cycling special, (UN)SPOKEN promises one of the most engaging sessions of the weekend.
