ITS UK’s Annual Conference returns for its second year and will explore the latest across transport technology, innovation and the future of mobility.

Open to all, the Conference will focus on the theme of: “How to build an integrated transport network?”. The Conference will include a collection of keynotes giving an update on key sectors – road, bus, rail – and a number of panels exploring cross-cutting issues like data and digitalisation, decarbonisation and exports. A full agenda can be found below.

The Conference will bring together transport authorities, technology providers and industry leaders across all modes to discuss how we can create a more joined-up, seamless, safer and greener transport system.
