Have an idea the transport industry needs to hear? A challenge worth solving? A story that could spark new thinking?

The 2027 National Transport Conference is seeking bold ideas, practical insights and thought-provoking discussion from professionals across transport, planning, design, engineering, government, research and industry.

The 2027 theme is Accelerating Value Through Collaborative Connections. We want submissions that show what collaboration makes possible: better outcomes, faster innovation and value that lasts.

Whether you’re sharing a landmark project, emerging research, a fresh perspective or a hard-earned lesson, this is your chance to shape the conversations that will define the future of transport. We want presentations that challenge assumptions, spark debate and inspire action.
