The agenda for the event is under development, following a record number of expressions of interest.

To date, 25 presentations have been confirmed – 19 on the main conference agenda and six for the fringe.

Three of these fall within the Vision Zero/Safe System session, which will feature practical presentations delivered by authorities who have embraced the Safe Systems approach/Vision Zero goals.

The three confirmed presentations to date are:

• Adopting Vision Zero as a Local Authority
  Nikola Floodgate, road safety & active travel group manager, Kent County Council
• Tools for Vision Zero and the realities of delivering a Safe System
  Delivered by Dr Suzy Charman, executive director, Road Safety Foundation
• Maximising the road safety potential of Intelligent Speed Assistance
  Delivered by professor Richard Rowe, University of Sheffield

The 2023 agenda will also retain successful and established elements of the programme including opening keynote presentations, Question Time and the quickfire ‘Speed Dating’ session, which will comprise around 12 quickfire presentations lasting no more than five minutes.

There will also once again be a Fringe programme and ‘Topical Topics’ session to accommodate presentations that don’t fit into the Safe System theme.
