The event, which is being held in Perth, features a strong line-up of local and international keynote speakers, including WSP’s global Leader in Travel Demand Modelling and Simulation, Rick Donnelly, who will take the stage to share his insights on the changing landscape of transport modelling and the impending third wave of digitisation.
Supporting Mr Donnelly will be WSP speakers Mary Haverland and John Webster, both technical executives in Integrated Transport Planning (ITP), along with transport modellers, Callan Stirzaker and John Trieu. Together, they will engage in dialogues on transport planning, modelling, and newly introduced freights and ports streams.
In addition to our speakers, WSP is represented by two AITPM diversity grant winners, Senior Transport Planner, Roxane MacInnis, and Graduate Transport Planner, Chen Whittle, as well as AITPM Young Professional Award Winner for WA, Xin Hou.
Andrew Leedham, AITPM National President and WSP Technical Executive – Integrated Transport Planning says, “This year’s conference sees a greater focus on live discussions with the introduction of the young professional panel session, as well as building on the greater recognition of diversity that began at AITPM last year where the Young Women in Transport session was introduced.
“For industry, it is a chance to discuss evolving topics such as planning for streets as places, promoting safe active transport and influencing travel behaviour.
“For WSP, this is a great opportunity to demonstrate our industry leadership as well as leverage our international networks and extensive knowledge in the transport planning and modelling spaces.” concluded Mr Leedham.
