Dear colleagues,
As the information age continues to unfold and the transport sector is subject to a world of social media, user generated data, open data and mobile communications, I'm delighted to invite you to an event in London which will be exploring these issues. It is free to attend and promises to be an excellent day for thought provocation and networking.
I hope to see many of you there.
Best wishes,
Glenn

COLLABORATION AND USER INNOVATION IN TRANSPORT
_______________________________________________
9.30 am - 7.30 pm Monday 24 September 2012
Royal Society of Arts, RSA House, 8 John Adam Street, London, WC2N 6EZ
Brought to you by GeoVation and supported by Ordnance Survey, the Ideas in Transit project, Technology Strategy Board, Department for Transport, Forum for the Future and SBRI.
With rapid developments in social media technology, smartphone apps, open data, and volunteered geographic information, in a context of doing more with less and doing that sustainably, 'Collaboration and User Innovation in Transport' considers:
* The barriers to collaboration and user innovation in transport and how they can be overcome.
* How can real users' needs be identified and addressed?
* How can open data be used effectively?
* How can business, government, communities and academia collaborate to create real value in improving transport?
* Collaborative consumption, creation and resourcing.
* Creating shared value and business model innovation in transport.
These and other topics will be explored by leaders and pioneers in their field through: keynote speeches, quick fire Pecha Kucha-like presentations, exhibition, and lively, interactive discussion with you, the participating audience, followed by an evening networking programme.
