Presentation requirements and suggestions

We are particularly interested in sessions that include panel presentations or otherwise provide a variety of viewpoints on a particular topic or issue.

We are particularly interested in sessions that speak to one or more of our identified Summit themes:

  • Trail Towns: Preparing your community invite trail and non-motorized tourism and to maximize the benefit of Katy Trail, Rock Island Trail, or other trail tourism and economic development
  • Complete Streets & Liveable Streets in Missouri: Building support for, passing, and implementing your Complete Streets policy
  • Tourism and the economic impact of bicycling, walking, and trails: What is the economic importance of bicycling, walking, and trails to your community, and what can you do to maximize the economic impact to your community and to Missouri?
  • Health and Safety impacts of bicycling, walking, and trails
  • Making bicycling, walking, and trails succeed in rural, suburban, and urban settings, and small, medium, and large communities across Missouri
  • Generally, any topic related to trails, bicycling, walking, active transportation, active tourism, and related areas

However, don't let these suggested topics limit you.  If you have a topic you are enthusiastic about, or a project or idea you would like to talk about - please submit!

Suggested Session Length: Up to 40-50 minutes but shorter presentations are welcome and encouraged!

Sessions are 40-50 minutes long and should include time for audience Q&A or other audience interaction.
