Join us for this interactive workshop with Professor Glenn Lyons to look at mapping out Yorkshire’s long-term vision for transport in an uncertain future.
Lunch will be provided 12:00 - 13:00.
This event is aimed at early career professionals, including apprentices, students and people in the first 10 years of their career.
We all know that the future is uncertain. Increased digitisation, changes in working patterns, climate change and global pandemics have shifted our perception of the future. It is no longer a simple case of “predicting and providing” based on historic trends, but “deciding and providing” based highlighting alternative futures and plotting a course to our preferred outcome.
As apprentices and emerging professionals, you have a unique insight into the future of the industry. You will be experiencing the longer-term shifts in the sector over the course of your career, and influencing people to achieve their preferred outcomes in transport for years to come. This is an opportunity for you have your say in what that future should look like. Join Professor Glenn Lyons and CIHT Yorkshire & the Humber in mapping out Yorkshire’s Transport Future(s) and sharing your long-term vision for transport!
Lunch will be provided after the event between 12:00 and 13:00 for all attendees.
