Along with several news articles, the 2008 Forum attracted over 130 delegates representing government, business, labour, NGOs and academia. Some of their feedback included these testimonials:

• “Attendees seemed very engaged — good mix of speakers with different styles.”
• “Fantastic to have an international perspective — nicely done! Roundtable — what a great idea. I like this ‘candid’ format.”
• “I had little (road pricing) knowledge so this was a good introduction.”
• “It provided a dialogue that is very necessary in this generation. I thought it was excellent that government agencies were present to show that pricing initiatives are not solely a lost cause.”
• “Speakers were knowledgeable and brought a wealth of experience. A valuable contribution to the public debate.”
• “Very good balance between practical, ground level projects and larger projects.”
• “Very well organized. Innovative and intriguing topic. Thanks for having me.”

The success of our inaugural Forum has led to 26 more learning events focusing on mobility pricing, infrastructure funding, the future of the car and intercity travel. There is still much work to be done so we invite you to subscribe to our listserv in order to stay informed on future conferences, research and outreach.
