Cycling Scotland Conference 2023

Our annual conference took place on Thursday 26 October 2023 at the John McIntyre Conference Centre in Edinburgh, and explored the theme "Cycling towards a healthier, fairer, safer and greener Scotland".

Delegates heard from keynote speakers Professor Devi Sridhar, Patrick Harvie MSP, and Sally Thomas, and took part in breakout sessions exploring road safety and infrastructure, access to bikes and storage, and cycle training.

Edinburgh City Council hosted two led walks to the venue and were a great way to start the day. Delegates had the chance to have a breath of fresh air at lunchtime by taking part in a (slightly drizzly) bike ride, hosted by The Bike Station, to explore Edinburgh’s active travel infrastructure.  

Access and inclusivity

Our venue was fully accessible, we offered early bird discounts, and ensured our venue is easy to reach by active and public transport.
