Summit presentation/session 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
  • What is your firm, organization, agency, or group doing to improve the environment for bicycling, walking, or trails - or designing communities, the environment, infrastructure, or facilities to be friendlier and more inviting to people who walk and bicycle.
  • Generally, any topic related to trails, bicycling, walking, active transportation, active tourism, and related areas  

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.

If you have a shorter presentation in mind, please submit it! We can--and often do--combine two or more related shorter presentations into one session.
