“The way we travel and move around cities, both in the UK and internationally, is changing,” said Cormac Martin, Move 2020 conference director.
“Move shines a light on the creative solutions and disruptors paving a way towards sustainable travel and the test track is the best place in London to experience what’s in store.”

Martin, added, “The speakers we’ve signed up for 2020 are on a journey that will change the way we travel and move around and between cities. And that’s exactly what we’re looking for – we’ve got a bold vision and we need people who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo, and who will inspire the industry to think differently and push limits.
“Our goal at Move is to shape the future of urban mobility by casting a spotlight on the creative solutions and disruptors paving the way towards sustainability.”
