The event integrates a large exhibition with a three-day conference, including approximately 180 speakers, plenary sessions, parallel tracks, technical deep dives, and innovation tours. Further, a dedicated startup zone, product directory, and job exchange complement the programme, thereby ensuring diversified involvement across the industry.
As the sole global event entirely dedicated to information technology in public transport, IT-TRANS is a strategic meeting place for public transport operators, infrastructure providers, technology developers, authorities, researches, and start-ups. The conference prioritizes real-world, practical applications in the context of urban transit and regional networks.
Networking is a key element by way of organized pre-event mixers, official networking dinners, guided tours of exhibits, and after-hours receptions. Such well-organized opportunity allows the participants to establish new partnerships and strengthen existing relationships.
