Join us for the UK's leading conference dedicated to Vision Zero and lower speed limits, hosted by Liverpool City Region. This event will bring together more than 300 professionals from transport, road safety, and policy to drive real change in road safety and active travel.

With ambitious targets to eliminate road deaths and serious injuries, Vision Zero is at the heart of sustainable transport strategies, and 20mph limits are a crucial tool in making our streets safer and more inclusive.

This conference will go beyond policy discussions to focus on practical solutions, real-world case studies, and the latest research. Through expert-led panels, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities, delegates will gain valuable insights into implementing effective speed reduction strategies, securing public and political support, and designing streets that prioritise people. Whether you are shaping policy, delivering infrastructure, or leading a campaign, this is the essential event for anyone committed to making Vision Zero a reality.

What's going to be discussed?

The National Vision Zero & 20's Plenty Conference will explore how 20mph speed limits serve as a foundation for Vision Zero, with discussions on policy implementation, enforcement, public engagement, and the wider benefits of lower speed limits for health, sustainability and active travel.

The event will also examine how technology and innovation – including speed enforcement tools, data analytics, vehicle safety advancements and smart infrastructure – can accelerate progress toward safer streets and help local authorities achieve their Vision Zero goals. Sessions will feature UK and international case studies, best practices, and collaboration opportunities to drive meaningful change.

Why attend?
