Registration Opens for Illinois Bike Summit - April 15 in Champaign

Registration is open at www.illinoisbikesummit.org for the third annual Illinois 
Bike Summit! Join other bicycle  advocates and interested professionals from 
around the state at the  I-Hotel, 1900 S. First St, Champaign on Tuesday, April 15,
2014.  Over  200 people are expected for a day of learning and networking, meant to 
help you make your town more bike-friendly!

The event is co-sponsored by the League of Illinois Bicyclists and Champaign County
Bikes, with help from other organizers. LIB members receive a registration discount.

Program Format

There will be something for everyone, as this year's Summit features  more options
and speakers.  Most time slots will offer breakout  sessions, each with a lineup 
of panelists sharing a range of experiences  from different parts of the state.

Add in other options including a  technical training track, field trips, "coffee
talks" on niche topics,  and ample networking time - and you'll want to be sure 
to finish your  taxes early so you can be in Champaign on April 15!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sessions

The main program of the Summit runs from 10am-4:15pm, starting with  a session on
IDOT's new Bicycle Transportation Plan.  IDOT Secretary  Ann Schneider will summarize
the plan, and LIB's Ed Barsotti will  describe implementation priorities of the 
bicycling community.

Breakout session topics throughout the day include:

* Local bike advocacy case studies
* Bicycle-Friendly Universities
* Trail project successes
* The Bronze Age of Champaign-Urbana:  The Making of Two Bicycle-Friendly Communities
* Health community/bike advocacy partnership case studies
* Education and enforcement
* Mountain biking facilities
* Enhancing your own bicycling
* Bike sharing programs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Extras

* A 3-hour "Turning Complete Street Policies into Good Practices"  technical training
session will be offered in the afternoon for agency  staff, consultants, and interested
advocates.  Continuing education  credit will be offered to engineers (PDH) and 
planners (AICP CM).
* Bring your bike for an hour long early morning ride through the  Champaign and
 Urbana Communities and the U of I campus.  The ride will  leave the I-Hotel Parking
Lot at 7:00 am and is being led by members of  the Prairie
Cycle Club, Champaign/Urbana's social riding club that has been organizing rides
for local riders since 1971.
* The very popular "Coffee Talks" of past summits will be held again  from 8:30-9:30
am at the I-Hotel.  Topics tentatively include:   Producing your First Bike Map,
 Running a Community Bike Workshop, Bike  Counts & What we learned from our first
Campus Bike Census, Bike to  School Day, and Bike to Work Day events.
* Our post conference reception tradition will continue at the 2014  Summit.  So
 plan to hang out for a bit longer at the I-Hotel for some  refreshments and extended
networking time before you leave.
