The History of the Moving Together Conference – 25 Years and Counting

In 1998, both the statewide bicycling action plan and statewide pedestrian action plan called for the establishment of an annual statewide conference for educational and networking purposes. The first two of these conferences were held in Worcester, MA in 2000. In May, at Clark University, 50 people gathered to discuss only walking issues. Later in the year, at the Worcester Holiday Inn, 50 people met and focused on bicycling issues.

In 2005, the conference moved to Boston, and since then, interest in the conference and attendance has continued to grow. As it has, the conference has changed venues a few times to accompany larger audiences.  In 2013, the conference was held for the first time at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel, and transit was added to the conference as a featured mode. The conference remained at the Park Plaza Hotel until 2023 when it moved to the Sheraton Boston Hotel.  In 2014, over 650 people attended the conference. In 2020 and 2021, during the Covid pandemic, the conference was held 100% online.  Since it returned in-person in 2022, the conference has sold out each year with over 1,100 people in attendance.  

Every year, the Moving Together Conference brings together transportation leaders and individuals involved in the areas of transportation safety, planning, public health, bicycling, walking, transit, advocacy, education, law enforcement, and elected office.   The conference sessions and speakers cover numerous related topics, sharing successful initiatives and programs, along with new tools and resources, and discussing strategies for addressing continuing challenges.
