Local Transport Summit dates and venue announced – 3-4 November, Oxford

The Local Transport Summit is the only opportunity for the movers and shakers in local transport to meet, network and map the future of transport planning and policy. For the first time, the team behind Local Transport Today, will gather the most influential thinkers to join the most important discussion in a generation.  

Anyone who is effected by transport planning and policy should attend The Local Transport Summit and add their voice to the discussion.  

The event, on the 3 and 4 November at The King’s Centre, Oxford, hosted in partnership with England’s Economic Heartland Strategic Alliance will comprise four main elements:

Day One

• A high level intensive scene-setting and interactive discussion around key current challenges and change management issues led by experts and involving senior local transport leaders from 3.30pm - 7.00pm on the first day Thursday 3 November

• Pre-dinner networking drinks followed by a semi-formal working dinner addressed by two top business and public sector speakers with experience from outside the traditional local transport community sharing their experience of the issues of governance and organisational and change management

Day Two

• A morning plenary and panel sessions on Friday 4 November with keynote speakers from the main local transport fields and other innovative sector leaders, including feedback from the previous day’s discussions and responses to the issues raised

• Afternoon facilitated roundtable workshops on a range of major local transport topics reporting back their outcomes to a final stock taking session that will identify new and emerging issues to take forward over the coming months in LTT, by online discussion and in further specific roundtable events

In the run up to the event LTT is giving space to sector thought leaders to help set the agenda and this will include both those with established roles in the local transport field and the next generation of transport professionals who are also encouraged to add their voices to the discussion.

The summit will see England’s Economic Heartland Strategic Alliance outline the progress it is making in establishing a statutory Sub-national Transport Body and its own transport strategy and share its work with other fledgling STBs. “It’s a great opportunity for us to  come together and help shape the future for the sector,” said Martin Tugwell, the Alliance’s programme director. 

Separate attendance will be possible at each of the summit’s two days’ elements, including the evening networking and dinner.

The first afternoon policy and leadership session will be limited to 80 people, the dinner is set for 120 and the day two sessions open to 200 attendees.

Preferential rates and delegate places are available to LTT subscribers and to those in education or currently working on a graduate scheme. Contact us for more information about these offers.
