Themes

The 2027 edition runs under the banner "Shaping the Future of Smart Ticketing & Mobility". The organiser highlights six areas: smart ticketing, payments, mobility, data, AI and policy. In practice that covers contactless and account-based ticketing, fare capping, interoperability between operators and what agencies can learn from tap-in data.

Gala dinner and awards

On the evening of 16 March the Gala Dinner hosts the Transport Ticketing Awards, which recognise the year's leading ticketing projects. Partners listed on the website include Consult Hyperion, ITS UK and Women in Transport.

Why attend

Ticketing has moved from back-office concern to strategic priority for rail operators and transport authorities: it shapes the passenger experience, revenue protection and the data used to plan services. In two days at Olympia, visitors can see system suppliers and payment providers side by side and hear how large networks, starting with London's, have handled the shift. TrainsNews rates it highly for operations and public transport professionals, and of limited interest for signalling, rolling stock and infrastructure.

Who should go

The event suits fare and revenue managers at train operators, ticketing and digital teams at transport authorities, payment and fintech firms, and consultants working on integrated fares or mobility-as-a-service. Engineers focused on track, trains or signalling will find little that is specific to them.
