Economic growth, pan-north growth, devolution. These are hot topics and will no doubt continue to be on the political agenda following the national election. Infrastructure, particularly transport infrastructure, is being proposed as key to unlocking the economic potential of the north. This conference will hear from speakers about HS2, northern transport proposals, local connectivity, the role of airports and those working on the devolution agenda. It will share current thinking on this fast moving debate and provide an opportunity to question some of the decision takers and policy makers.
