A great night was had at the Transport Planning Society social event in Leeds last week. Very interesting and informative presentations from both our speakers.

Alex Fish of SEP Limited spoke about the "Pop Up City" and the work that goes in to turning an empty green field to an event with 35,000 people and 15,000 vehicles. Included an insight into his extensive experience in the industry, with a fascinating case study on Kendal Calling and views on what the future holds for the events world.

Joe Cusdin of Iventis Ltd covered major event modelling and GIS/mapping, demonstrating huge experience in larger events such as London 2012, Baku 2015, PyeongChang 2018 and work on Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022. Also an interesting overview of the Iventis Information management system which opens up a toolbox for events enabling collaboration, information sharing and insight.

Thanks to everyone who came, and hope to see you at the Transport Planning Society pub quiz on March 26th!
