Executive Update (formerly Council)

Join us for the next ITS UK Executive Update, which will take place on the 4 September (12-3.30pm) at Glasgow City Council’s offices.

Formally our Council Meetings, the Executive Updates offer the opportunity for our Executive Members to hear from public sector organisations, understand the latest updates across the sector, and to feed into ITS UK’s strategy and direction.

The session will include keynotes from Transport Scotland and Glasgow City Council, who are kindly hosting us for the day, before we secure quickfire overviews from:

– Transport for Greater Manchester
– Institute of Highway Engineers
– Transport for West Midlands
– Crown Commercial Services
– Satellite Applications Catapult

We will also receive an overview of two new Executive Members:

• Smart Applications Management
• Capita
• Atos

There is an option to attend in person or online.
