This year’s conference will combine the Iowa Trails Summit and Iowa Bike Summit to bring together enthusiasts, advocates and professionals from across Iowa and beyond. The conference will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities. These opportunities provide platforms for discussion and collaboration on a variety of topics such as trail development (acquisition, phasing, and construction), on street cycling accommodations and network planning, maintenance, volunteer management, policy, promotion, and marketing.
The Summits aim to inspire, educate, and empower attendees to continue to support Iowa as the World Capital of Trails and a more bicycle-friendly state.
Tickets are available here. Purchase tickets for either the Trail Summit or the Bicycle Summit, or purchase a discounted ticket to attend both.
