How is a major European capital planning for a car free city centre?
What are the implications on cycling of autonomous vehicles?
How can data be used to improve planning for walking and cycling?
Should active travel be embedded in every stage of the planning process?

These are just some of the questions that will be debated at the Hackney Cycling Conference on Friday 10 June.

A packed agenda of keynote speeches, Q&As, small presentations, and films will also cover diverse range of topics including: pedestrians’ and cyclists’ experience of sharing spaces, winning business support for cycling infrastructure and the false dichotomy of cycle training versus cycle infrastructure. Full agenda is below.

The first 50 delegates to arrive will receive free valet bike parking and a FREE BIKE SERVICE during the conference, courtesy of Cyclehoop, Cycle Confident and Steer Davies Gleave.

Tickets start at just £40, including lunch.
