Driving Innovation in Transport and Mobility
Join us for a special Tech Leader Talk sponsored by Softwire, where we’ll be joined by senior technology leaders from some of the most influential organisations shaping the future of transport and mobility.
This session brings together executive-level speakers from Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) and CAVU (part of the MAG Group). These industry leaders are driving large-scale digital transformation, tackling complex challenges, and setting strategic direction within their organisations — from revolutionising urban transport systems to advancing connected vehicles and digital passenger experiences.
Together, they’ll explore:
- How emerging technologies are redefining transport and mobility
- The role of digital innovation in decarbonisation and sustainability
- Data-driven infrastructure, connected systems, and what’s next for the sector

Bring a Tin
We're encouraging all event attendees to bring a tin of food to donate to Mustard Tree, a Manchester charity supporting people facing poverty and homelessness. It’s a small act that could make a big difference. Donations can also be made on the day.
Let’s make doing good part of what we do—together, and let’s make kindness part of the culture.
