ITC Discussion Evening

The ITC's next Discussion Evening evening has been postponed due to the Covid-19 crisis. We hope to run the following event in September - more details to follow. The next ITC Discussion Evening will explore What balance do we need to achieve between public and private investment in transport infrastructure? At a time when transport infrastructure investment is rising up the political agenda, and when the public finances are under increasing strain, this debate will explore how we can achieve the right balance between public and private investment. An expert panel will introduce the topic and the discussion will be chaired by Terry Hill CBE. This event is invitation only with priority for our corporate members but if you would like to be considered for a place please contact events@theitc.org.uk
