Stepping ahead!
The Walk21 Vienna 2015 conference program features
a rich content to facilitate professional expertise and
debate as well as informal opportunities for networking
and experiencing the diversity of Vienna as a walking
city. The motto ‘Stepping ahead’ promotes activities and
innovations towards the future of our resilient cities and
healthy living environments.
Plenary Sessions and

On each conference day, all participants will have the
opportunity to listen to inspiring plenary speakers. On
Friday, the Leadership Panel Discussion will take place.

You have the possibility to experience a broad variety of
Walkshops and Urban Laboratories on Tuesday morning

Conference formats
The Walk21 Vienna 2015 program
is an exciting mix of formats
to encourage and enable
a dynamic conference agenda.
Breakout session
This is an oral presentation in a session shared with
other presenters to illuminate different perspectives on
and experiences with the same topic. Each presentation
will last 15-20 minutes.
Workshop
At a workshop, the audience deal with a specific topic or
question raised by the speaker(s) giving the input talks.
The workshop group will have intense discussions and
will work on a result together.
Round table
At a round table, speakers will provide insight into their
topic and encourage questions and discussion. A round
table lasts 45 minutes, including a 10 minute statement
from the speaker, followed by discussion. Then, participants move to another round table. Two round tables
can be visited per session.
Speed dating
At the Walk21 speed dating session, the audience will
have the opportunity to learn about various different
contributions and stakeholders. At least six presentations can be visited. The speed dating is a lot of fun and
a great opportunity for networking.
Pecha Kucha
Pecha Kucha is a format where each speaker shows
and talks about 20 images, each for 20 seconds. After
the presentation, speakers and audience have time for
intense discussion.
Urban laboratory
The city will be your urban (walking) laboratory. During
an urban laboratory, the audience has the opportunity to use the public spaces in Vienna to carry out
experiments, pilot programs and deliver direct urban
interventions.
