Panel
Transport runs on data, yet too much of it sits fragmented across organisations, in incompatible formats, with no shared rules for access. This panel brings together transport data leaders to ask how transport turns this moment into delivery. We will discuss smart data schemes; integrated ticketing and journey planning; governance, standards, incentives; and so much more.
Panel: Autonomy – delivering the next big theme in transport

Panel: Autonomy – delivering the next big theme in transport
2.15pm – 3pm BST, 30 September 2026 ‐ 45 mins
Panel
In this session we will examine progress across a range of transport sectors in which autonomy is being adopted – from self-driving vehicles and robot deliveries to logistics and drones. Panellists will explore the challenges in delivering these new systems, as well as identifying lessons learned to use in less developed sectors.

The UK runs world-class transport technology pilots but then watches too many of them stall on the way to a contract. This session gets to the business heart of the problem and examines why pilots stall, and what would change the return on investment. We will look at pipeline visibility, protection for intellectual property, and a regulated sandbox that turns a supervised pilot into a genuine bridge to revenue

Panel
Every step transport takes towards digitisation widens the surface an attacker can reach. Resilience can no longer be bolted on at the end but must be designed in from the start. This session is not just keeping attackers out, but also about building systems that degrade safely, recover fast and keep running under pressure, across the transport network.
