About the Seminar

The Public Transport Association Australia New Zealand’s (PTAANZ) Emerging Mobility Leaders are proud to present their first Seminar with the theme of “Moving with the Times – A Sustainable, Safe & Inclusive Future for Public Transport” with event partner Aurecon.

Moving with the Times is designed for emerging professionals in the mobility and transport sector to come together to discuss challenges and opportunities our industry is facing – from understanding the current environment and how the existing state of play will affect future trends, how new technologies support changes to transport offerings, and what sustainable transport production options are on the horizon.

Join us in person in Sydney on 24 November 2022 at the Wesley Conference Centre for this career and industry-focused event.

After the seminar has wrapped for the day, we will close with networking drinks where you’ll get the opportunity to connect with colleagues from key stakeholders across the public transport sector.
