An Evening to Continue the Conversation

After a day of groundbreaking discussions and thought-provoking debates, join us for an exclusive Summer Evening Reception in a stunning outdoor setting. Unwind with great food, refreshing drinks, and entertainment, while engaging in big picture conversations with fellow attendees, speakers, and industry leaders.

Key Themes & Sessions Include:

• Visionary transport futures: Imagine and debate possible transport scenarios e.g where will we want to be travelling? What will be our favoured form of conveyance? How much freedom will we really have? How much damage will be done to the planet? What will disrupt our lives?
• A tech-centric future driven by AI, automation, and data.
• A command-and-control society, where transport is dictated by state policy.
• A localised, community first model
• Roadmaps to the future: Breakout sessions will explore the practical steps and policies needed to make these radical futures a reality, or to prevent them.
• Changing minds through exploration: By the end of the event, you’ll reflect on how your perspectives may have shifted, did you change your mind about where transport is heading?
• Navigating the politics and the culture war
