We look forward to seeing many of you at the event and please stop by the BAG stand over the course of the two days!
Interchange
Interchange is a fulcrum for big thinking and a catalyst for delivering an integrated, decarbonised, and resilient transport infrastructure in the UK.
The full multi-stream programme of Interchange 2026 has launched.
An evolution of the highly rated 2025 programme, it will again catalyse the delivery of an integrated transport system in the UK and shine a light on its economic, environmental and societal dividends - and the opportunities that these represent for you.
The programme will include at least eight mayors and their combined authorities who join our infrastructure partners, which include all the major transport clients in the UK.
Attending Interchange is free, and your booking will give you access to:
- The keynote programme
- Four conference Pillars - Digital, Environment, Energy and Places
- a new 'Rethinking' stream
- ICG (Infrastructure Client Group) Live
- ITS UK Conference...
... and the usual exhibition of key thought leading organisations.
This is a unique opportunity to learn from and rub shoulders with all the key players in the transport infrastructure sector.
It’s bold. It’s future ready. It’s Interchange. And it’s shaping up to be unmissable.
