Run by Road safety GB info
here :
£300 delegete fee and if you provide the organisers finance as sponsor you can speak, (I assume as a side event to the main speakers)
I have been offered a 40 minute slot if I provide a fee they are getting back to me over how much although I doubt it is going to be affordable.
I pointed out that it was not a collection of true Road Safety interest as it required a payment so those with money get to speak that is bias.
