ASPA are delighted to announce the Australian Walking and Cycling Conference (AWCC) as Co-Hosts for the Asia-Pacific Physical Activity Conference 2024, 20-22^nd November, Perth.

As one of Australia’s longest running, best regarded, and most affordable active travel conferences, the AWCC brings together practitioners and researchers from Australia and across the world.

ASPA and AWCC are now calling for abstracts on walking and cycling at the conference. The AWCC Walking and Cycling Abstracts submission deadline is 01/09/2024. In this stream, we welcome abstracts on walking, cycling, and physically active mobility. Abstracts that meet the criteria will be considered for both oral and poster presentations.

There is clear alignment in the conference theme ‘Pathways to Impact’ and the goals of the Australian Walking and Cycling Conference. Specifically, AWCC explores the potential for walking and cycling to not only provide for transport and recreation — but also solutions to the challenges of liveability, physical activity, community building, economic development and sustainability.
