A private gathering of transport leaders exploring how artificial intelligence is moving from experimentation to operational impact across the transport sector.

Date
11 June 2026
Roundtable
4:00pm – 6:00pm
Private Dinner
6:30pm onwards
Venue
Uncommon Liverpool Street, London

Limited to a select group of transport CEOs, Managing Directors, CIOs and transformation leaders.

The future of AI in transport will not be determined by technology alone.

It will be shaped by the leaders responsible for operational performance, customer outcomes and strategic transformation.

On 11 June, a select group of transport executives will come together in London for a closed-door discussion on where AI is creating measurable value today and what must happen next.

This invitation-only session has been intentionally kept small to encourage candid discussion, peer exchange and practical insight sharing.

Why this conversation matters

Artificial intelligence has moved beyond experimentation.

Transport organisations are now focused on identifying where AI can create measurable value, reducing operational risk, and building the foundations of an organisation ready for the next decade.

  • 04High-value AI opportunity identification
