Every Person. Every Journey.

This is not another conference about accessibility, transport or Brisbane 2032. It is an interactive event using expert speakers and facilitated Journey Design Labs to define and co-design an action plan based on evidence and lived experience.
Pre-event surveys, academic-led research principles, lived experience and interactive technology will ensure every delegate can contributes to the discussion before and during the Summit.
Every person. Every journey.
Keynote speakers at the Summit will deliver powerful stories of lived experience, and outline the research around transport disadvantage.
Journey Design Labs set to develop solutions
The Journey Design Labs are the centrepiece of the Transport Equity Summit.
Rather than passively listening to presentations throughout the day, delegates will join interactive design labs to work alongside decision makers to solve real transport challenges.
Each Design Lab will focus on a specific journey or transport challenge identified as critical to achieving transport equity:
- Every Journey Can Be Planned
- Every Person Can Find Their Way
- Every Place Is Connected
- Every Transport Mode Works Together
Facilitated by subject matter experts, each Design Lab will explore three fundamental questions:
- What barriers exist today?
- What needs to change by Brisbane 2032?
- What practical actions, partnerships and innovations will make this possible?
