Cycling Scotland Conference
16th September 2026
Perth Concert Hall
This September, we’ll be bringing the national Cycling Scotland Conference to Perth for the first time since 2016.
Join other experts and decision-makers, from across Scotland, to share learning and celebrate progress towards enabling more people to cycle for everyday journeys.
What to expect
A day of inspiring speeches, breakout sessions to dive into key issues in greater detail, study tours exploring Perth, a buzzing exhibition hall, and lots of networking opportunities to connect with other delegates.
Each year, around 250 delegates from local authorities, Regional Transport Partnerships, Scottish Government, private and third sector organisations attend the national cycling Conference.
A full agenda for the day is being developed and will be published in advance.
Sponsorship & exhibition

2025 highlights
Last year, more than 200 delegates joined us in Dundee, to explore the theme: "Investment in everyday cycling delivers results".
Chaired by award winning climate activist and environmental scientist Laura Young, the day featured keynote speakers including Head of Health Intelligence & Learning Health Systems, Public Health, at NHS Grampian Jillian Evans, Vision Zero Communications Director and road safety campaigner Rebecca Morris, Professor of Future Mobility Glenn Lyons, and Director of Inspections at Active Travel England Brian Deegan.
Once again, an excellent line up of speakers. It’s really heartening to hear leaders speak about investing in active travel with such conviction.
Registration
Registration will open in late spring / early summer.
If you’d like to hear when we announce keynote speakers, open early-bird ticket sales and launch exhibiting opportunities please sign up to our mailing list. If you’ve attended a previous conference, you will already be on our mailing list, unless you have unsubscribed.
Host city: Perth
We’ll be returning to Perth for the first time since 2016.
In the past decade, the city has seen completion of new infrastructure developments including the Destiny Bridge linking communities on the west and east banks of the Tay, with major improvements in development for walking, wheeling and cycling in and around the city centre. Recently, positive increases in cycling have been recorded on several key routes into the city centre, indicating a strong appetite for active travel in the city.
Venue and accessibility
Our venue this year is the Perth Concert Hall. The venue is fully accessible and has free WiFi. Find out more about venue accessibility.
It’s a 5-minute cycle or 15-minute walk from Perth bus and train stations.
If you have any questions regarding access, please contact us on conference@cycling.scot.
Great conference and good use of the space…you could see everything and meet pretty much everyone
