The 2021 Symposium will be held at Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham City Campus on Wednesday 15th September and Thursday 16th September 2021.
Nottingham City Campus is located in Nottingham City Centre with excellent public transport connections and car parking availability.
The format of the event will be the same as in previous years, including a Symposium programme filled with topical presentations,
a specialist Exhibition, and plenty of opportunities to catch up with old friends and colleagues and network with new contacts.
The MOVA User Group will also be held at the City Campus on Tuesday 14th September.
For 25 years the JCT Symposium and exhibition has been bringing traffic signal practitioners together with manufacturers and to maintain a sense of community amongst signals engineers. It is intended to run as an affordable conference that is accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of experience and that encourages the exchange of knowledge, experience and good practice. Over the past few years, the symposium has consolidated its position as the UK"s best conference event for traffic signals.
The Symposium & Exhibition runs over two days, and is preceded by the MOVA user group. It mixes conference style papers, the principal manufacturers, networking opportunities and organised social events in the evening. As far as content goes, the emphasis is on the signals community itself and JCT seeks submission of papers and presentations from working signal engineers, manufacturers and suppliers. The broad appeal of the programme means that papers are also welcome from policy makers, interest groups, and academics. If you would like to share your experience with the signals community then please let us know and we will do everything we can to help you including subsidising attendance at this event.
2021 will see the Symposium return to The Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham City Campus. This popular conference venue provides us with all the facilities we need for the presentations, the exhibition, and networking/social events.
The Nottingham City Campus is located centrally within the UK in the centre of Nottingham. It has excellent transport links with the rest of the country by both public transport and road. The Nottingham tram system runs directly from Nottingham Railway Station stopping outside the door of the Symposium Venue. For those travelling by road there are a number of city centre car parks located very near to the campus.

This includes entry to the Symposium for two days, entry to the exhibition, lunch and refreshments on both days and comprehensive Symposium notes.

We realise that many potential delegates currently have financial & budget pressures which make events such as the Symposium more difficult to attend than in previous years. We are therefore once again offering special offers as detailed below which are aimed to allow as many delegates as possible to attend the Symposium enhancing the level and breadth of debate both in the formal events and at the evening networking events.
Please note that no offers include or apply to any accommodation or additional meals and offers cannot be combined with other offers, free speaker places or other reduced price places.
The Symposium Programme will consist of around 20 papers from a range of speakers. We will shortly be issuing a Call for Papers for 2021. If yourself or a colleague may be interested in speaking at the Symposium we would be interested to hear from you. Papers can be on a wide range of traffic signal related topics and would normally be around 15-20 minutes long. Remember that speakers attend the Symposium free of charge on the day they speak.
The Symposium has had a parallel exhibition for many years and features the main companies working in traffic control. Entry to the exhibition is free for Symposium delegates.
A list of confirmed exhibitors will feature here as we get closer to the symposium.
