Danny Williams, Chief Executive Officer, Active Travel England

"Active travel is about so much more than walking, wheeling and cycling for everyday trips. It's about unlocking local economic growth, improving the nation's health, and giving children freedom and independence"

Danny Williams, Chief Executive Officer, Active Travel England

We carefully curate the best conference programme by featuring an essential mix of keynote presentations from government, council hosts and sponsors, plus streamed seminars on a range of topics.

Active City 2024 is Europe's largest annual gathering of cycling and walking development professionals, and provides exhibitors with the ideal space for meeting and networking with existing and future customers.

Chris Boardman, Active Travel Commissioner

"If we want millions more people to walk, wheel and cycle to schools, shops and workplaces, we need to give them what they need to make the switch"
