2024 NATIONAL BIKE SUMMIT REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

The 2024 National Bike Summit will take place in-person in Washington, D.C. from Tuesday, March 19, through Thursday, March 21, 2024.

This year, the Summit will begin mid-day on Tuesday, March 19, with an opening plenary and keynote, followed by other programming and an evening awards reception. On Wednesday, March 20, participants will take part in Lobby Day to meet with their representatives in Congress. Conference plenaries and sessions will resume on the morning of Thursday, March 21, with additional mobile workshops, breakout sessions, and plenary speakers.

NEW: 2024 Webinar Series

As the League is returning to a solely in-person conference style for the National Bike Summit in 2024, we want to continue to provide excellent learning content and engagement opportunities for a larger virtual audience. To provide this content, we are launching a year-round webinar series to take the place of virtual and hybrid-format breakout sessions. Webinars will begin being presented in April 2024 and are anticipated to take place on a monthly basis. Learn more about the Webinar series.

2024 Request for Proposals

Proposals are currently being accepted for both in-person Summit sessions and virtual webinar presentations or panels. (UPDATE: The RFP form is no longer accepting proposals for in-person Summit breakout sessions. However, we are still accepting proposals for Mobile Workshops and virtual Webinars.)

Topic

We invite proposals on a range of topics related to safer roads, slower speeds, and making biking better. Topics should be relevant to the bicycling movement and support enhancing Summit attendees’ collective understanding of how to make biking better through expanding cycling education, increasing the inclusivity of and access to bicycling through meaningful engagement, and building bike infrastructure for all ages and abilities that connects communities.

Format

In-person Summit sessions may include mobile workshops, single presentations, or full panels/sessions with multiple speakers. Proposals for webinar sessions may include single or multiple presenters, and for a variety of lengths and virtual formats, which can be indicated on the RFP form.

Deadline to Submit Proposals

Proposals for the 2024 National Bike Summit and webinar series will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning in late September 2023. Preference will be given to proposals submitted on or before October 25, 2023 at 11:59pm PT. However, the RFP will remain open through December and additional proposals will be considered if there are additional openings in the Summit agenda or webinar series.

This page will be updated and the form will be closed once the Summit agenda and webinar calendar have been filled.

UPDATE: Please note that as of 12/13/23 we are no longer accepting RFP submissions for in-person Breakout Sessions or Workshops at the Summit. We are still accepting proposals for Mobile Workshops at the 2024 National Bike Summit, as well as proposals for webinars in 2024
