Being able to present effectively whilst engaging your audience and, subsequently, being able to field challenging technical questions is a key skill for those working in the transportation industry. Whether engaging stakeholders, making a case for investment, or presenting project outputs to your client group, presenting is an essential skill. 

If you are a Student, Apprentice or Emerging Professional in the first 7 years of your career, we’re keen to give you a platform to develop your presentation skills, and an opportunity for you to earn some kudos (and a cash prize!) at the same time. 

                     

What’s involved?

  • Choose a topic relating to accessibility and road safety: To align with the CIHT Republic of Ireland Conference 2026 theme, we are calling for presentations aligned with accessibility and road safety.

  • Enter an abstract: Prepare a 150 word abstract summarising your presentation topic and ideas. 

  • Presentation heats: If selected, you’ll be invited to do your 10 minute presentation online in front of a judging panel in July/August 2026.

  • Presentation final: Three finalists will be selected to do their presentation in-person at the CIHT Republic of Ireland Conference on 24th September 2026. Finalists will be given complementary tickets to the conference, where the winner will be announced and receive a €250 cash prize (excl. CIHT Membership for 2027 for non-members)
