Host city
This September, we’ll be in Dundee for the first time since 2018. Dundee is committed to supporting more people to travel by bike. Progress includes installing on-street residential cycle storage across the city, delivery of on-road Bikeability cycle training in every primary school and completing the Broughty Ferry to Monifieth off-road route. They are also developing plans for the Active Freeways programme to provide dedicated routes, connecting communities, including Ninewells, Lochee, Stobswell and Strathmartine to the city centre.
Venue and accessibility
Our venue this year is the City Quay Apex Hotel in Dundee. The venue is fully accessible for wheelchair users and is easy to reach by active and public transport.

I thought the theme and content of the speakers and breakout sessions were great this year. Packed a punch! The roundtable discussions were really useful.
