That’s a wrap on EVOLVE ’26!

We are so grateful to everyone who made the CTO EVOLVE ’26 Conference such an incredible success last week!

Held at the iconic Australian National Maritime Museum, EVOLVE ’26 brought together more than 200 people from across the Community Transport sector, making it the largest Community Transport conference in Australia.

From the opening keynote by the enthralling Adam Spencer to our powerful closing session with Professor Kathy Eagar who explored where we go from here in re-designing CHSP, this conference was an action packed two days of thought-provoking speakers, practical workshops, important conversations, collaboration and connection.

To our incredible speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers, delegates and CTO team, thank you. Your energy, generosity, ideas and commitment made these two days truly special.

Here’s to continuing to EVOLVE together!
