Annual Forum
Transportation Forum 2024
The way people and goods move around our region is undergoing a major transformation, as transportation becomes increasingly vital to driving low carbon, resilient and sustainable solutions responding to population growth, shifting customer expectations and demands.
Over the past few years, our Transportation Forum has been a dynamic space delving into the future and global innovations in transportation and championing leadership in advancing new transportation and mobility ideas. This year, our forum will look beyond ideas and unpack actions needed for achieving tangible results.
Managing challenges in supply chain, the energy transition, and a high-cost environment demand forward-thinking and sustainable transportation solutions. Our region needs to build innovative and resilient infrastructure that will cater to the evolving needs of our community and address the pressing issues of our time.
During this exciting time of growth and change, the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade invites you to the 2024 Transportation Forum presented by Deloitte. This annual forum will bring together industry experts and government officials to explore the future of moving goods and people around the region in the present day and beyond in this era of growth and change.
