NC Bike Summit Call for Proposals

bikesummit

The call for proposals is now open for the third annual NC Bike Summit which will be hosted in Greensboro, North Carolina October 9-12, 2014.

The mission of the NC Bike Summit is to:

  • foster collaboration between North Carolina’s various bicycle movements,
    efforts, and endeavors;
  • educate local government staff, bicycle advocates, and policy leaders;
  • promote cycling as a valid form of transportation and as an economic driver; and
  • highlight North Carolina’s dedication toward becoming a premier bicycle friendly state.

This year’s theme – Pedal Forward – is meant to inspire presenters to be forward thinking and aspirational.

The Summit will focus on the five pillars of the North Carolina Statewide BiPed Plan:

  • Mobility
  • Safety
  • Health
  • Economics
  • Environment

Presentations will be organized into four tracks:

  • Advocacy
  • Community and University Bike Programs
  • Economic Development
  • Transportation Planning

Format Options

Each format will be a one-hour block with time for questions and moving to the next session. Blocks may be combined into longer sessions if requested.

  • Breakout Sessions – interactive session with 1-3 presenters
  • Panel Discussions – group of 4-6 experts sharing knowledge in brief intervals
  • Mobile Workshops – intended for topics best discussed in the field with on-site demonstrations
