2024 Tennessee Bike Walk Summit

In 2012, Bike Walk Tennessee organized the first ​Tennessee Bike Summit​ in Chattanooga, Tennessee. More than 125 Tennesseans gathered in Chattanooga to discuss topics ranging from regional planning to bicycle encouragement programs like “Ride to Work” day. Since then, the Summit has visited every major city in Tennessee and has grown into an annual event that regularly brings together cyclists, advocates, planners, engineers, and elected officials from across the state to share resources and best practices related to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, funding, education, outreach, and policy. In 2018, Bike Walk Tennessee expanded the focus of the Summit to also include walking, changing the name to the Tennessee Bike Walk Summit. We will continue to focus on walking AND biking at our annual Summit, building on a commitment to building streets that are safe and inviting for all people. We believe that our communities are stronger and more economically vibrant when people walk and bike, and we are proud to  build on the success of past Summits – success made possible by our sponsors (https://www.bikewalktn.org/sponsors) - as we support a bright future for our great state.  

The 13th annual Tennessee Bike Walk Summit will be held on November 14 and 15 in Knoxville, Tennessee. On Thursday, November 14, there will be a casual bike ride around Knoxville and a networking social at Crafty Bastard Baker Creek. The Summit will take place at the University of Tennessee Knoxville Conference Center on Friday, November 15. The goal of the Summit is to bring together people who care about making our streets safer for all – particularly those who walk and bike. Through a series of keynote presentations, breakout sessions, and mobile workshops, the Summit is a valuable educational and networking experience.​ ​Folks will have the opportunity to share resources and build partnerships to establish a network that is capable of doing great things across the state. The Summit facilitates collaboration on topics including measuring economic and health benefits of walking and biking, sharing trends in bike and pedestrian safety, and showcasing innovative infrastructure design.

We look forward to seeing you in Knoxville!
