RSGB launches 2017 national conference with early bird offer

12.00 | 7 February 2017 |

Road Safety GB has officially launched the 2017 National Road Safety Conference with an attractive early bird offer of £225 (plus VAT) for the first 50 Road Safety GB and Academy members who register.

First staged in 2008, the National Road Safety Conference is Road Safety GB’s flagship event. The 2017 conference will take place at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Manchester Airport on 14-15 November.

In a break from tradition, the 2017 conference will be organised by a committee drawn from Road Safety GB North West, North East and Yorkshire & Humber regions, rather than a single regional team.

The 360-bed Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester Airport is linked directly to Manchester Airport, an international transport hub. It is also linked to the airport’s train and metrolink stations, and located just off the M56 Motorway.

The conference team is in the early stages of planning the agenda for the 2017 conference, with themes under consideration including:

Public health, sustainability, active travel & road safety casualty reduction

  • Partnership working, overcoming barriers, making the initial approach etc
  • Sharing intelligence, data, resources, budgets, funding etc
  • Encouraging more people to cycle and walk (for health and environmental benefits) while recognising the increased road casualty risk (and addressing this)

Behavioural Change Techniques (BCTs)

  • What are BCTs?
  • How can BCTs be deployed in road safety interventions?
  • Case studies of interventions featuring BCTs

Driverless cars: a Utopian dream or road safety nightmare?

There will also be a ‘Topical Topics’ session, the ever-popular Question Time and a Fringe programme running in tandem with the main agenda. ‘Pick my brains’, which was successfully piloted at the 2016 conference, will be repeated this year.
