- Real-world insights from established professionals in transport and planning
- Lessons learned from career challenges, “sliding door” moments, and unexpected detours
- Advice for navigating early career decisions with confidence and clarity
- Strategies for building a sustainable, purpose-driven career in the transport sector
- A chance to network with like-minded peers and industry mentors
