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.

We’ll be joined by key client bodies and set out progress made by ITS UK over the past few months.

There is an option to attend in person or online.

To register, please email Rukshan Soysa at Rukshan.Soysa@its-uk.org
