The UK's major walking, cycling and active places event
Attracting 400-500+ national and international delegates, this major two-day industry conference, exhibition and networking event is sponsored by the Department for Transport, who steer the conference objectives and content as well as supporting with resource, staff and Ministerial attendance.

A focus on County-level areas for 2019
Counties have as much to contribute to the local and national economy as major cities. Smaller cities, towns and rural areas are home to a considerable proportion of the UK's population, and have their own opportunities and challenges when it comes to enabling more cycling, walking and active travel.

Many of the solutions to reducing single occupancy private car journeys in the drive to boost activity levels, improve air quality, reduce congestion and improve traveller safety have unique drivers in county areas. At a senior level, it’s recognised that a joined-up and collaborative approach to meeting future mobility needs across all levels of governance is necessary if the UK is to deliver nationally on its policy objectives.
