ERTICO – ITS Europe and Toulouse Métropole will proudly host the European ITS Congress in the Centre of Toulouse, from 30 May to 1 June 2022. The event will take place at the newly built Exhibition and Conference Centre MEETT – conveniently located near the Toulouse-Blagnac Airport. The ITS Congresses underline the importance of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), particularly in cities and regions where they are hosted and are important channels to raise awareness of smart mobility solutions among policymakers, experts and the general public.
The ITS Congresses also represent the ultimate showcase of mobility services deployment and are the means for the ITS Community to keep pace with the incredible evolution of the industry. Over the years, the European Congresses have offered a platform for thought leaders, developers, entrepreneurs and decision-makers from the transport, logistics and IT industries to share ideas and progress smart and sustainable mobility.
The 14th edition of the ITS European Congress in Toulouse 2022 invites organisations from the broad spectrum of the ITS ecosystem to play a role in the ongoing development of smart mobility. The Congress Programme offers delegates an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the latest ITS technologies and new mobility concepts. Experts, researchers, policymakers, solutions providers from the mobility sectors (and beyond) are invited to submit contributions for various sessions to share innovative ideas and lessons learnt, discuss mobility challenges that cities face today, and address them through ITS solutions.
MOVE America 2022 is the #1 tech mobility and start-up show.
We have created the world’s most important mobility event, where disruptive technology and innovation drive a carbon zero future for the entire value chain.
Where disruptive technology and innovation drive much needed change, MOVE America is THE meeting place for the world’s transport tech and mobility giants. MOVE America has become a critical meeting place for buyers & sellers across the mobility value chain. In 2021 over 1,000 attended MOVE America and we are building a much bigger and more complete show for 2022.
Join us at MOVE America, a high-level multi-stage conference together with a major services and suppliers-led exhibition from September 27-28 2022 at the Palmer Events Center, Austin, Texas.
