CalBike Extends Deadline to Submit Ideas/Proposals for Panel Discussions at April Summit - Streetsblog California
"The California Bicycle Summit will be held on Thursday and Friday, April 23-24, 2026, in Sacramento at the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria. If you'd like to participate by planning one of the sessions, the deadline to submit your idea has been extended until a week from tomorrow, Tuesday, November 25. You can start your submission or read the full guidelines here."
"Honestly, my favorite part of the summit is these sessions. With smaller audiences than the keynotes, they allow for more back-and-forth between attendees and presenters while still maintaining enough structure to guide the conversation. I've been lucky enough to be on stage twice at these conferences, both during my first run as a Streetsblog editor with SBLA over a decade ago."
"And you don't need a fully fleshed-out proposal to be accepted to present at CalBike. While the guidelines state that "The most competitive proposals will be fully formed sessions, with a detailed description and confirmed list of speakers," they also make clear that proposals for an individual speaker will still be considered-though if accepted, they would likely be combined with or folded into another proposal."
The California Bicycle Summit will be held April 23–24, 2026 in Sacramento at the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria. The deadline to submit session proposals has been extended to Tuesday, November 25, and submissions and full guidelines are available via the provided link. Sessions feature smaller audiences than keynotes, enabling back-and-forth exchange between attendees and presenters while maintaining structure. Proposals do not need to be fully fleshed out; individual-speaker proposals may be considered and possibly combined with other proposals, though the most competitive proposals are fully formed with detailed descriptions and confirmed speakers. Announcements will roll out beginning December 16, 2025 through January 2026, with the final program announced in February. The two-day summit includes keynotes, plenary sessions, breakout panels, workshops, and mobile bike tours focused on advocacy practices.
