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 will comprise four main elements:

Senior Decision Makers' Forum - 3 Nov

  • 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

Local Transport Summit - 4 Nov

  • 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 days 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 which 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 will be 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.

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