Panels
Opening Plenary
With funding sources in flux, transportation and county representatives will discuss what they're doing collectively to protect and preserve multimodal transportation options and bike/ped progress. Representatives from San Mateo and Santa Clara counties will also discuss topical funding issues such as Regional Measure E, the governor's budget, and more.
Thinking Outside the Bike Lane - Communication Workshop
What messaging can you use to reach new audiences and secure bigger wins? This workshop helps to strengthen communication and engagement skills. Attendees learn how to more effectively identify potential partners, recruit and collaborate with them to strengthen their campaign. Led by Justin Hu-Nguyen of Bike East Bay and Carter Lavin, author of If You Want To Win, You've Got To Fight: A Guide To Effective Transportation Advocacy

Bike Summit is Silicon Valley’s largest gathering of active transportation leaders in government, the private sector, non-profits, and the general public that come together to talk about the best ways to make our communities safe and friendly for bicyclists of all ages and abilities. Improving infrastructure and policies is the most important way to get more people bicycling.
Sponsoring an SVBC event is a wonderful way to contribute to a safer, healthier, friendlier, more efficient, more economical, less congested, and less polluted community. It also allows you to communicate your company’s commitment to these values as sponsors are recognized in a variety of ways before, during, and after each event.
An excellent way to connect with and have visibility in front of elected officials, city staff, businesses, and community members that are most active in biking advocacy. Sponsors have the opportunity to take on speaking roles in the program. We also gratefully acknowledge sponsors on all relevant signage as well as on our website and via social media channels.
