TRICS conference 2011

As reciprocal members, TDB is happy to promote and encourage Australasian professionals and members to consider this year’s TRICS conference.

This year’s conference theme is “Transport, Localism and the Big Society”, which oversees a variety of sessions throughout the day, including the following topics:

• The localism bill – where does transport planning make its mark?
• A developer’s view on impacts of localism – putting the brakes on large developments?
• Neighbourhood plans and community development
• Community development and understanding transport needs
• Involving business in neighbourhood plans – resolving conflicts?
• Manual for Streets
• Local sustainable transport fund – supporting neighbourhoods and communities?
• No travel! – Reducing the impact of business travel

We are also pleased to confirm that, as with the 2010 conference, attendance will count towards CPD hours.

Delegate fees are frozen at 2010 prices, which are heavily reduced from the previous year. TRICS and CIHT member organisations can attend the conference for only £199 + VAT. As usual, we are expecting a significant attendance of transport and development professionals from across both the public and private sectors, which makes our event an excellent opportunity to network with others within the wide-ranging TRICS Community.

To book your place at this year’s conference, you can complete and return a booking form by email to trics@jmp.co.uk or in the post (to the London address shown at the foot of this email). You can find a downloadable booking form with an on-line booking submission option at  http://www.trics.org/conference11/index.html.  As usual, places are subject to availability, and are allocated on a first come, first served basis. There is also the opportunity to attend the conference meal at a local restaurant the evening before the event, details of which you can find on the booking form.
