Transport Ticketing Gala Dinner & Awards

Over the last seven year's running the awards, we have seen the smart ticketing industry grow and develop all thanks to the hard work, innovation and collaborative efforts of our community. We felt that we needed to step up and throw a party worthy of their work.

In 2020 we launched the Transport Ticketing Gala Dinner & Awards to celebrate the industry in style. With an ever-growing number of international visitors to the event, the evening was a fantastic opportunity to recognise the growing success of the industry and celebrate with colleagues, partners, customers and friends.

2020 was the eighth edition of the Transport Ticketing Awards. With their inclusion as part of the gala dinner and the move to the impressive Making the Modern World hall at the Science Museum, this year’s awards were our most prestigious yet.
