The Museum, in partnership with leading law firm Eversheds, have launched a ground-breaking new programme of debate and discussion building upon its partnerships made with industry, government and higher education. The Thought Leadership programme is an exclusive benefit for Museum Corporate Members which provides a unique networking forum at a senior level. The events are being chaired by VIP's such as Peter Hendy, Steven Norris and Sir David Bell.
Developed in close consultation with industry, and in particular with our Corporate Members, the programme meets a need for an event that involves opportunities for networking and cross sector discussion on important industry issues. The Museum is working with a range of organisations to deliver a far-ranging and relevant programme.
The Thought Leadership agenda builds upon the Museum's role as a platform for debate and creativity for the wider transport industry. Topics are based on the most relevant subjects affecting business today and include; climate change, funding transport, future technology, inter-city travel and promotion of engineering as a career choice.
The annual programme will involve six business breakfasts at the Museum and two dinners held at Eversheds in London taking the format of a short presentations, debate and discussion for no more than twenty invited guests
Invitations to each event are a benefit of membership of the Museum's Corporate Membership scheme. Places are also made available to specially invited top-level guests. Please email Becky Lee, Development Executive, if you would like to request an invitation to the next event.
