Mr. John McCarthy:

At its core, it is a research conference and it is built around an academic agenda with a programme of technical papers. It builds upon that with strategic sessions and plenary sessions that build up to a policy level.

One is getting engagement with different people at different levels who are involved in transport. The conference is accessible to anybody who wishes to go to it but it is geared towards people who are involved in the industry. It is open to anybody. The conference, as we said earlier, will hopefully try to have a big focus on encouraging the people of the future in schools, students and things like that, to try to have that debate. Those people will probably bring something to the conference which perhaps nobody else may have thought of. That is the mark of a successful conference in that it generates that type of discussion and level of activity around it.
