ConneCTing Conference 2026

This November, CTA is bringing the sector together for the conneCTing Conference: four virtual sessions exploring the ideas, evidence and relationships shaping the future of community transport in England.

Delivered online across four dates in November 2026, each two-hour session stands alone, so you can book the one most relevant to you or join us for all four.

Every session is designed to be interactive. Expect real examples from across the sector, practical ideas you can use straight away and opportunities to connect with colleagues facing similar challenges.

Across the four sessions, we’ll share the latest findings from our Deep Dive research programme, explore how to build influence with your Local Transport Authority and Combined Authority, look at the future of volunteer car schemes and help you navigate the funding landscape.

Wherever you are in your community transport journey, there’s a session for you.

The sessions

How it works:

• Four online sessions across four dates in November 2026
• Two hours per session, with opportunities to share your questions and experiences
• Book an individual session or join us for all four
• Open to CTA members, the wider community transport sector, partners and stakeholders

Who should attend?

Trustees, managers, coordinators, drivers and volunteers from community transport organisations across England, along with local authority officers and sector partners with an interest in the future of community transport.
