Women in ITS Forum

The Women in ITS group will celebrate International Women in Engineering Day!

We will be exploring some key themes around female leadership, including presentations on a dedicated female leadership initiative at a large consultancy, as well as technical insights from the public sector. 

We have some excellent speakers lined up from TRL, National Highways and Transport for Greater Manchester with more invited. 

Following presentations from our speakers, there will be dedicated time to ask questions and share your thoughts.
