Velo-city 2026

Velo-city is the yearly flagship event of the European Cyclists’ Federation and it is co-organised with a different city every year. Velo-city is where advocates, cities, policy makers, researchers and industry leaders meet to shape the future of cycling and sustainable urban development.

Reshaping cities to improve quality of life and to strengthen climate resilience calls for political leadership to engage directly with people and businesses to ensure creating and owning a shared vision of the future, backed by extensive strategic plans, integrated policies, effective governance, long-term commitment, and funding.

Velo-city’s Exhibition provides a unique platform for cities and regions to discover most ground-breaking solutions. The exhibition is precisely designed for public local authorities to learn more on all things related to urban and daily cycling. Discover 100+ exhibitors, presenting the latest cycling innovations and learn more about urban cycling infrastructure, policies, and initiatives.

The City of Rimini will be hosting 2026 Velo-city conference at Palacongressi-IEG Expo, marking its return to Italy for the first time since 1991. ECF chose Rimini in recognition of its remarkable transformation from a car-oriented to a sustainable, liveable, and healthy city for all.

The event will take place in Rimini, Italy, from June 16th to 19th.
