Pro Walk / Pro Bike / Pro Place is the premier conference in North America for walking and
bicycling professionals from the public and private sectors.
The conference is founded in the
belief that more and better walking
and bicycling will create healthier
individuals, cohesive neighborhoods,
and vibrant communities.
Started by a hundred idealistic cyclists
in 1980 as Pro Bike, the conference
has evolved to include walking—Pro
Walk/Pro Bike—and, in 2012, under
the stewardship of Project for Public
Spaces, the conference incorporated
placemaking, creating new partnership
opportunities and enhancing the
movement’s potential impact on
communities.
The 18th Pro Walk/Pro Bike/Pro Place
in Pittsburgh is expected to draw
1,000 city planners, transportation
engineers, public health advocates,
elected officials, community leaders,
and professional walking and
bicycling advocates.

TestimonialsOver the years, we’ve sponsored events
of all shapes and sizes. By far, Pro Walk/
Pro Bike gave us the biggest bang for
the buck, both in terms of new business
leads and giving us a venue to express our
company values.
The best conference I ever attended
started with a rah-rah speech that
charged us all up from the beginning.
You had a good balance of session times
and networking/exhibit times. Good job
keeping the exhibitors there the whole
time. Too often they leave after one big
exhibit reception.
“
From start to finish an excellent meeting,
a top ranker among the half-dozen or so
conferences that I attend per year. I was
also very pleased by the mix of attendees
– male/female, young/older, techies/
just folks, public/private, and the general
camaraderie in sessions and functions.
