The 14th ITS European Congress will take place in Lisbon from 18 – 20 May 2020 and will explore all the ways which ITS is changing mobility – and lives!
The Congress is suitably themed “ITS: The Game Changer”. We are reaching a time where the maturity, scope and interconnection of Smart Mobility Systems is prompting companies to change the way they collect, manage and integrate data. This forms the basis for new solutions that enable the movement of people and goods. The technology is there, but it is time to focus on, and discuss, the big picture!
The Congress will host various sessions with top mobility experts speaking about key topics in the transport industry today. The event presents a strategic opportunity for all mobility stakeholders to come together, share knowledge, exchange best practices and make the necessary contacts to develop their businesses.
