Conferences
ACT TRAVELWISE holds two major international conferences every year.
The Winter / Spring Confernce which will this year be held on (6th February 2008 in London), combines a range of expert speakers dealing with the major policy issues which affect the field. It will also host the EGM which will be the forum to elect the new board of directors to take the association forward.

Our Autumn Conference is held alongside our Annual General Meeting. Everyone is welcome at the AGM, although only ACT TRAVELWISE members have voting rights.
Masterclasses
Masterclasses are held at various intervals throughout the year. They are normally based around a specific topic or case study and comprise presentations, site visits and interactive discussion groups. They are an excellent opportunity for members to network and see first hand a successfully operating Travel Plan.
Training Courses
ACT TRAVELWISE Training Courses are provided with Members in mind, we run an Introduction to Workplace Travel Planning Course which is very popular, and also run a course run by marketing experts on marketing travel behaviour change. However if you have any ideas regarding appropriate issues to cover or can offer a venue – let us know!
Through PTRC, a variety of courses on travel planning and related issues are also available to ACT TRAVEWISE Members at discounted rates such as Traffic Survey Techniques.
