New innovation for National Conference

The topics and facilitators have been announced for ‘Pick my brains’, a new session to be piloted at the 2016 National Road Safety Conference.

The optional session, which will take place at the end of the first day, will see experienced road safety practitioners provide help and advice to small groups of colleagues in an informal setting.

‘Pick my brains’ is the first innovation to be trialled at National Conference since the successful introduction of The Fringe programme in 2014.
