Steven Mifsud MBE to speak at the MENA Transport Congress and Exhibition in the UAE

Direct Access founder Steven Mifsud will speak at the MENA Transport Congress and Exhibition, the leading event for sustainable urban mobility solutions in the MENA Region. It will take place in Dubai from the 28th February – 1st March 2024.

This year’s event theme, “Sustainable Mobility and Wellbeing”, exemplifies MENA’s unwavering commitment to shaping a greener future for urban mobility, sustainability and improved wellbeing and quality of life for all.

Representing Direct Access, Steven will attend as one of the event’s special guest speakers to discuss ways in which the local transport sector can move towards a sustainable and green future alongside seventy speakers from twenty countries. Drawing from our experiences delivering accessibility consultancy for some of the largest public transport companies in the United Kingdom, including Avanti West Coast, Transport for London, Transpennine Express, Steven will explore how sustainability cannot exist without first generating accessibility for all people to an audience of over two thousand.

In addition to clients within the transport sector committed to sustainability, Direct Access has also delivered accessibility consultancy for Expo City Dubai during the period in which the City hosted the COP28 climate change conference, as well as during Expo 2020 Dubai – where Steven was appointed as Director of Accessibility.

MENA is one of many events in the Arab region that Direct Access staff have been requested as speakers, the others include the upcoming International Museum Construction Conference (IMCC) in Oman, the Kuwait Diversity and Inclusion Summit in Kuwait, and the recent International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) conference in Abu Dhabi.
