The exhibition area has been designed to provide sponsors with maximum access to delegates throughout the Conference.

The NSW Community Transport Conference, the definitive meeting place for the community transport sector, our workers, board members, policy makers, managers, coordinators, government and non-government organisations. It is our opportunity to discuss how we can move forward together in a continually changing environment. It’s our opportunity to collaborate, bring fresh ideas, listen to others, share experiences and projects, to talk, and importantly it's our opportunity to demonstrate how individuals and groups can work together to improve access to community transport services.

THEME

The 2017 conference theme is “Making Headway”. There have been many changes and challenges for our community transport sector. As an Industry we have evolved with the reforms, although not entirely embracing the changes - we are certainly moving in the right direction. There is more work to be done regarding partnerships and collaboration, and we continue to ride the wave of change in a consumer-centric environment.
