Steer Davies Gleave, Hackney Council and the Hackney Cycling Campaign are joining forces to co-host the sixth annual Hackney Cycling Conference on 27 April 2017. Hackney enjoys the highest levels of cycling in London, and the event has become a fixture in the calendar of professionals, campaigners, and elected members eager to hear new ideas.

The theme for this year’s conference is “cycling as a catalyst for healthy neighbourhoods”. It will be the first major cycling conference after the Mayor of London publishes his Transport Strategy, and other UK cities will be on the verge of mayoral elections. It is the perfect time for professionals, politicians, academics and campaigners to come together to discuss the implications of these changes for our streets and neighbourhoods.

For further information, including the full conference program and ticket bookings, go to Eventbrite website.
