Position yourself as a transport leader
CCAT offers partnership opportunities for our members and partners throughout the year. The support of our members and partners enables us to provide value to the sector, through our policy influence and deliverables, networking and collaboration opportunities, and national and international knowledge sharing initiatives.
CCAT is offering a range of event sponsorship opportunities for members and partners to expose their brands and discuss their issues with other leaders in the transport, technology and infrastructure sectors. Events will bring together government and industry stakeholders across CCAT’s extensive networks.
Leaders’ lunches are small, informal events for senior government and industry leaders. These popular events provide an ideal opportunity for transport leaders to meet their peers and discuss pressing transport issues. A keynote speaker generally leads the discussion with a group of 15-25 guests. Guests are invited without charge as guests of the sponsor organisation.
CCAT Executive Board lunches are exclusive events for senior government and industry leaders to meet with members of the CCAT Board and high-profile guests following the quarterly CCAT Board meetings. These events are for guests at the senior executive level and above (generally chief executives), and are limited to 20 guests. Stakeholders are invited without charge as guests of the sponsor organisation.
Site visits are events hosted by sponsor organisations on-site, providing an opportunity to share information about a transport or technology innovation and present your issues to a small group of senior government and industry leaders. These events are for guests at the senior executive level and above, and are recommended to be limited to 15 guests. A suggested format includes a discussion led by the sponsor organisation, a tour of facilities and finally networking and refreshments or lunch. Guests are invited without charge as guests of the sponsor organisation.
Industry meetups are larger events tailored for members to meet with government and industry stakeholders for information sharing and networking. Guests are invited without charge as guests of the sponsor organisation. Formats include:
Unless otherwise agreed, CCAT will coordinate events in consultation with the sponsor organisation, including securing a keynote speaker, inviting guests (using CCAT’s extensive stakeholder networks), arranging the venue and catering (except for site visits), and disseminating pre- and post-event publicity. Sponsorship is invoiced at the time of agreement, with some flexibility possible if required.
Sponsor organisations commit to sponsorship of the event. This applies even if specific arrangements must change during the course of coordinating the event, such as a keynote speaker or date. A refund will be arranged if the event does not proceed.
Our thought leadership opportunities will facilitate collaboration and more detailed policy discussions within the transport sector.
CCAT is forming a policy advisory group to discuss national policy priorities relevant to connected and automated transport. The group will involve representatives from member organisations with the requisite knowledge and skills to contribute to CCAT’s policy positions which can inform CCAT’s policy work program, public statements, reports and submissions. Meetings will also include knowledge sharing opportunities and items from guest speakers. Meetings will be held online.
Benefits include ensuring your organisation’s priorities inform CCAT’s policy positions, being able to guide CCAT’s policy work, and engaging in knowledge sharing and policy discussions with your peers in the sector.
CCAT regularly submits on national policy consultations of relevance to connected and automated transport. Calls for contributions to submissions from member organisations will be made through CCAT’s communications channels. Benefits include contributing your organisation’s priorities to inform CCAT’s policy positions.
CCAT has a range of communications channels, in order to connect the stakeholder community and disseminate information. CCAT has a large following via these channels. Member organisations are welcome to submit news for CCAT’s communications channels, including short news items for CCAT’s social media channels and monthly newsletter, longer news items and thinkpieces for CCAT’s article series ‘The Commute’.
Benefits include promotion of your organisation’s and initiatives.
