About

The Tourism & Transport Forum Australia (TTF) in partnership with the UITP Australia New Zealand (UITPANZ) are delighted to present the 2019 Australian Transport Summit. Now in its eighth year, the Australian Transport Summit continues to be one of TTF and UITPANZ’s most significant events and is Australia’s foremost public transport summit.

The theme for this year’s Summit is Real Mobility: Connecting People, Places, Spaces.  Hear how innovative mobility services are transforming how people move and where they work and live.  The program will include Australian and international keynote speakers, expert panels and case studies, and the agenda will focus on current and emerging issues facing the Australian transport sector.  The Australian Transport Summit will be about discussing what is possible.

The Summit will bring together Government leaders, public and private sector experts and allow attendees to hear from, and share ideas with key stakeholders in the transport portfolio.

This one-day event will conclude with a closing cocktail reception where delegates can network and discuss insights and topics of interest that were highlighted throughout the conference program.  It will provide unrivalled opportunities to engage and connect with industry leaders, network and generate new business opportunities.

This year’s conference will be held on Wednesday, 7 August 2019, 8.30am – 5.00pm at the Hilton Sydney.
