There’s a new look for the Department for Transport’s 2026 Transport Technology Forum Conference in Leicestershire and a new sponsor – TPXImpact.
The digital transformation company will be supporting the two-day TTF Live event, which returns to the Leonardo Hotel Hinckley Island from 16-18 March. TTF Live will not only continue its established conference discussions around how technology is solving road transport challenges and the government’s priorities and policies and the funding landscape, but will also involve a series of real-world outdoor demonstrations of connected vehicle services.
TPXImpact works with business and government, building whole-system approaches to service design around policy, evidence-based investment and data infrastructure.
“We’re sponsoring TTF Live because the next era of transport – shaped by AI, connected vehicles and automation – will depend as much on the quality of the digital layer as the physical network,” commented TPXImpact Senior Growth Consultant, Michael-Jordan Faucher-Folie. “Our focus is the practical stuff that makes innovation stick: designing the standards, building the platforms and designing the services that help organisations join things up, reduce friction, and deliver policy outcomes.
“We’re excited by the shift from “more data” to usable data: clearer standards, better integration, and delivery that works in real operating conditions. Done well, that also means well-designed services, transparent methods and explainable decisions — the kind of foundations that build confidence internally and earn public trust externally, especially as AI becomes more embedded in operations and customer-facing experiences.
“We’re looking forward to learning from people who live the complexity of transport every day: authorities, operators, delivery teams and innovators. In return we’ll share the lessons we’ve learnt in supporting digital transformation across central and local government, utility providers and other private companies in the place and infrastructure market.”
Other organisations involved in TTF Live include High Level Round Table Sponsor AECOM and networking sponsor Yunex Traffic, plus exhibitors Clearview Intelligence, Messagemaker Displays, NAL, NIRA Dynamics, Rennicks, Simplifai Systems, SRL Traffic Systems, SWARCO, TagMaster UK, Teledyne FLIR, TRL, VivaCity and Westcotec.
Working with the Local Council Roads Innovation Group (LCRIG), and thanks to the support of the private sector, the TTF will again offer fully-funded places for local authority representatives from across the UK to attend the Conference.
Bookings are now open. Visit the website to find details of sponsorship and exhibitor packages and the registration form to apply for local authority fully-funded places which include a delegate pass, hotel accommodation and catering.
