Who should attend and why?:
Government Departments: Get the latest updates regarding policy and strategy aimed at fostering regional growth and business competitiveness through transport reform and better collaboration between departments and tiers of government.
Transport Operators: Insights into patronage trends across modes, strategies for dealing with additional passenger loads and achieving better intermodal integration, as well as better understanding government policy and expectations and reinforcing relationships with key government officials.
Developers: With billions in Government funds earmarked for transport infrastructure, there are massive opportunities for developers to tender for and win lucrative government contracts. This event provides the ideal environment to learn more about these plans and meet with potential partners.

Suppliers: More rolling stock, more infrastructure, better transport technology, better legal and tax advice, more efficient ticketing systems, better urban planning, project finance – all of these things are needed for the development of the optimal urban transport solution within Australia. Your customers will attend this event to determine what they need, who has the capability and who to partner with.
Investors: PPP structures and the bidding process for these major transport projects need to be revised to promote greater interest from consortiums and fast track infrastructure projects. Hear the thoughts of government, civil construction and legal experts on how this can be achieved.
