SMEC’s transport planning and advisory technical specialists present at the Australian Institute of Traffic Planning and Management National Conference

In recent years, Australians have experienced significant changes, leading us to reconsider the concept of a modern Australia. Changes in lifestyles, work patterns, and leisure activities are influencing the role of transportation networks in facilitating movement of people and goods. Consequently, there's a demand for the industry to innovate and create solutions that elevate connectivity for the entire Australian population.

The Australian Institute of Traffic Planning and Management (AITPM) 2023 National Conference in Melbourne will explore Pathways to a connected Modern Australia.

The conference is a great opportunity for the industry to come together, meet and discuss ideas, broaden knowledge and form connections.

SMEC is the proud Sustainability Theme Champion Sponsor and our transport and advisory technical specialists are sharing their unique insights through presenting posters, moderating panels and participating on panel discussions.

“I’m really proud of the contribution our team are making to the industry and the communities we are helping to reshape for the future,” states Derrick Hitchins, SMEC’s Chief Technical Principal – Transport Planning and Advisory.

Conference tickets are still available via AITPM, we’d look forward to seeing you in Melbourne: https://www.aitpm.com.au/events/national-conference/2023-conference-melbourne/2023-conference-registrations.
