From 29-31st May 2009, we would like to invite you to join the World Snowboard Federation and the TTR World Snowboard Tour and General Assemblies. They will take place in Innsbruck, Austria, at the Hotel Congress.You will hear reports of yet another highly successful season of project from the two world leading snowboard organizations, and get the opportunity to voice your opinions.

Because this year’s General Assembly is happening in central Europe and because the Swatch TTR World Pro Tour (WSF´s partner organisation) will be holding their General Assembly at the same time and location, we anticipate that this will be the largest group of snowboard event experts gathering in one spot for the very first time.

So don´t miss this opportunity to make a difference in the sport of snowboarding and come participate in this important event. We want to hear what you have to say!

29 -31st of May 2009, Innsbruk, Asutria.

The General Assembly will be attended by the delegates from National Snowboard Associations who are members of WSF.
