OUTLOOK NEWS



About OUTLOOK
There are many ways that we can learn and sharpen our skills these days but none better than face to face presentations by experts delivering topics that are relevant to Parking. The financial investment will reward you with new ideas and approaches to take back to your workplace. 
At OUTLOOK 17 you can share business ideas, find that next mentor or see a product launch before it hits the market. The program is shaping up to be one of our most diverse yet as we embrace the Future is Today theme and learn about  global ITS trends case studies regarding the implementation of both driverless and electric vehicles into parking, mobility as a service and Telstra's presence in the connected vehicles environment. Plus much more... 
Of course we have our keynote speakers Tane Hunter, rugby union legend Phil Kearns and Harry Barber OBE. For the first time we are introducing a DELEGATE LED afternoon where YOU decide on the topics, concepts, ideas which can result in up to 15 sessions. You can be as involved (or not) as you want to be, however what is guaranteed, is that these sessions will be the best investment in yourself, your organisation, your parking sector and your career. OUTLOOK 17 delivers a convergence of networking, learning, challenging yourself and some fun as well.

Driverless Vehicles - Spare Tyres Are Extra! The Process of Bringing An Autonomous Vehicle Into Your Organisation

Parking Australia's Curtin University is the first university in Australia, and the third organisation to introduce an autonomous bus. The bus was purchased to support research at Curtin and it is an exciting project to be involved with. Procuring an autonomous vehicle and landing it in Australia is an interesting process. The many challenges from getting the vehicle out of the box through to it actually operating were overcome by staff in the Operations and Maintenance section of the university. 
Their story may assist you if you are considering buying an autonomous vehicle.
This will be a 40 minute presentation currently scheduled for Day 1 of OUTLOOK.
DELEGATE LED SESSIONS
The Delegate Led Sessions will address topics and activities that are programmed by the attendees. That's right - YOU will get to set the agenda and (if you like) run a session yourself. 
You may like to workshop an idea, present some new concepts, or simply explore a topic that is a current focus for your organisation.

With the industry's best minds in the room, you will be able to guide the conversation to ensure you get all the insight you need, ask tough questions and test your latest thinking. Be prepared to meet new people and get involved with by planning the perfect session to meet YOUR needs. The agenda for the afternoon will be set by the participants suggesting ideas and voting for the things that you most want to hear about. During the afternoon there could be up to 15 sessions each 40 minutes each. Session format could include open forums, workshops, presentations, brainstorm sessions or any other format you suggest. This will be very relevant for all delegates and exhibitors as anyone is free to nominate a topic so come prepared. This will be one conference where all delegates and exhibitors will be staying to the very end!
