Team Modeshift United: Better Everyday Journeys Together
11 and 12 November 2026, Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United Football Club (NEW venue)
We’re excited to announce that the National Modeshift Convention 2026 will take place at the iconic home of Manchester United, Old Trafford – and we’re inviting you to be part of the programme.
The National Modeshift Convention – Modeshift United – celebrates the idea that no single organisation, sector, or individual can achieve change alone.
Modeshift United
This year, we focus on showcasing outstanding teamwork, deepening relationships across sectors, and building a truly united national network committed to enhancing everyday journeys. Through shared learning, partnership-building, and real-world case studies, we’ll explore how working together can improve outcomes across communities, workplaces, education, transport, and leisure settings.
As we celebrate 25 years of Modeshift (2001–2026), we’re bringing together professionals from across the UK to showcase outstanding teamwork, share ideas, experiences and practical solutions that improve everyday journeys.
