The panellists for Question Time at the 2019 National Road Safety Conference comprise five individuals with a broad spectrum of road safety involvement.
Question Time is always one of the highlights of the National Conference, which this year is being held at Telford International Centre on 12-13 November.
The 11th edition of the National Conference is co-sponsored by Insure the Box, Jenoptik and DENSO – with more than 275 people already registered to attend.
The 2019 conference will follow a similar format to previous years, with both a main and fringe programme running concurrently. The Question Time session takes place on day two, 11.45 – 12.45, and will once again be chaired by Nick Rawlings, editor of Road Safety News.
