The 17th JCT Traffic Signal Symposium & Exhibition

The 2012 Symposium will be held at The University of Warwick on the 20th and 21st of September 2012. The format of the event will be the same as in previous years including a Symposium programme filled with topical presentations and a specialist Exhibition and with lots of opportunity to catch up with old friends or network with new contacts.

The MOVA User Group will provisionally be held on 19th September at the University.

Overview

The JCT Symposium & Exhibition started in 1996 as a way to bring traffic signal practitioners together with manufacturers and to maintain a sense of community amongst signals engineers. It is intended to run as an affordable conference that is accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of experience and that encourages the exchange of both knowledge and experience. Over the past few years, the symposium has consolidated its position as the UK's best conference event for traffic signals regularly attracting well over 200 delegates.

The Symposium & Exhibition runs over two days, is usually preceded by the MOVA user group and mixes conference style papers, the principal manufacturers, networking opportunities and organised social events in the evening. As far as content goes, the emphasis is on the signals community itself and JCT relies upon the submission of papers and presentations from working signal engineers and/or manufacturers, so if you have some experience that would be of interest to our community then please let us know and we will do everything we can to help you present your findings including providing you with subsidised attendance at this event.
