Accelerating electrification.
EV growth.
Energy security.

12.11.26 @ Warwick Conferences

Now in its fifth year, this year’s Transport + Energy Forum is set against a backdrop of rising fuel costs and global uncertainty, and focuses on the urgent need to move beyond ambition and deliver electrification at pace.

Built around three core pillars – Accelerating electrification. EV growth. Energy security. – the programme will explore how scaling electrification across transport and energy systems can unlock EV growth, drive economic performance, and reduce reliance on volatile global energy markets.

With demand for electric vehicles and low-carbon technologies accelerating rapidly, the challenge is no longer just adoption – it is whether transport and energy systems can keep up. This forum will address how both sectors must move faster, align more closely, and scale infrastructure and capacity to match the pace of change.

With 2030 just four years away at the time of the forum and key net zero and phase-out deadlines fast approaching, the window for action is narrowing. The focus must shift decisively from ambition to coordinated, large-scale delivery.

This is a shift in focus: from why electrification matters to how we deliver it at speed. More than a climate issue, electrification is now central to economic growth, national resilience, and long-term energy security.

Why attend?

The Transport + Energy Forum is a leading platform where the transport and energy sectors come together to connect, collaborate, and drive progress. At this pivotal moment for the industry, the forum is an essential event for senior leaders and decision-makers across both the public and private sectors.

The event includes more than 60 fully funded delegate places – including hotel accommodation – for qualifying local authority professionals with responsibility for decarbonisation projects and regional sustainability initiatives.

Designed to encourage meaningful discussion and valuable networking opportunities, the agenda features a dynamic mix of panel discussions, fireside chats, in-conversation sessions, and interactive roundtables. Together, these sessions will explore the key challenges and opportunities facing the sectors as they navigate the transition to decarbonised transport and energy systems.

The forum has established itself as a trusted platform for meaningful networking and genuine collaboration. Real-world experiences and case studies are shared and explored through both formal sessions and informal discussions, giving delegates valuable insights and practical solutions they can apply directly within their own organisations after the event.

Our packed agenda brings together influential speakers from across the transport, energy and wider infrastructure sectors, delivering content in a range of engaging formats designed to spark conversation, encourage networking, and drive meaningful outcomes.

The event’s cabaret-style layout, featuring tables of 10 delegates, has proven highly effective in fostering interaction, collaboration, and peer-to-peer discussion throughout the forum.

Dedicated networking breaks are built into the programme to facilitate valuable conversations between delegates, speakers, and sponsors, while interactive audience participation – including live debates and Q&A sessions – ensures attendees remain actively involved in the discussion.

The programme includes:

  • Keynote presentations — industry leaders sharing strategies, insights, and future plans
  • Roundtable discussions — enabling local authorities and solution providers to meet face-to-face, discuss regional challenges, and explore collaborative solutions
  • TED-style talks — concise, inspiring, and thought-provoking presentations
  • Panel discussions — featuring expert perspectives alongside audience Q&A sessions

Interactive polls and audience engagement — creating opportunities for delegates to contribute directly to the conversation and debate
