Last winter, the League of Illinois Bicyclists conducted a 2.5-hour "Introduction to Bicycle Planning" continuing education seminar in ten locations. Nearly 500 local planners, engineers, consultants, and others attended – most having no prior training on the range of technical and strategic topics presented. In this talk, our experiences and suggestions are offered for those wanting to replicate such a program, including seminar content, attracting intended audiences, resources, and more.
