	Modelling wider economic impacts: future direction and key challenges An open conversation, led by the DfT, about the way forward for Supplementary Economic Modelling (SEM), identifying key challenges to SEM becoming a trusted and integral part of scheme design and appraisal, and how best to overcome these challenges. DfT considers that we need the collective efforts of the industry to move things along; a challenge for all of us, and not just the department. DfT wishes to understand when simpler and less expensive approaches are warranted, and acceptable, and how DfT can use the outputs from these models to inform decisions. Panel discussion: progress to date and a focus on next steps Chair: Mark Ledbury, Deputy Director, Transport Appraisal and Strategic Modelling, Department for Transport Josh Nava, Economic Advisor, Department for Transport Daniel Hanson, Director, Strategy & Economics, PwC Jeremy Clarke, Highways England David Simmonds, David Simmonds Consultancy	Exploiting new technology Chair: Nadia Lyubimova, Associate Director, WSP Transport planners and automotive engineers: a collaboration story Devrim Kara, Director, PTV Group, UK & Ireland, and Tim Ellershaw, Senior R&D Scientist, HORIBA MIRA Using Wi-Fi data in agent based pedestrian models Francesco Angelelli, Senior Transport Consultant, Atkins Modelling shared mobility Luis Martinez, Shared Mobility Team, International Transport Forum Developing new demand data from mobile networks Chris Wroe, Telefonica & Aled Davies, TfL	Looking to the future..
