Future of Transportation and Mobility Series

Held annually, The Future of Transportation and Mobility Event Series explores and promotes a variety of topics and solutions to help accelerate the future of the connected and autonomous technology sector. The series — which features a new theme each year — is designed to engage decision-makers, industry, government, innovators and academia to explore opportunities affecting critical sectors of the economy in preparation for disruption in the transportation and mobility industries.

Intelligent Infrastructure & Connected/Autonomous Vehicles

The second annual Future of Transportation and Mobility Series event will explore the future of intelligent infrastructure, goods and people movement, V2X communications, and the role of data, privacy and security as we foster change and challenge the opportunities to bring the connected and autonomous vehicle industry to reality.

Network with industry, entrepreneurs, government and academia, as we look to the future and discuss how we progress to become ‘Smart Cities’.
