Burnham to showcase innovations at Smart Transport conference

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham will set out the region’s transport priorities at this year’s Virtual Smart Transport Conference.

The free event, organised by RAIL’s fellow Bauer Media title Smart Transport, is being held in association with Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). It takes place virtually on October 20-22 to showcase solutions to government policy in the UK transport sector.

Eight sessions will be held across the three days, with more than 45 speakers already confirmed.

Burnham will set out where future investment is being directed and look at some of the area’s most successful transport innovations.

Experts from TfGM will also give presentations across the three days, including Sarah Kumeta (senior innovation officer), Dominic Smith (senior transport strategy officer cycling and walking ‘Streets for All’), Chris Boardman (walking and cycling commissioner), Conor Chaplin (innovation officer) and Nicola Kane (head of strategic planning, insight and innovation).
