Event description: 

The European Transport Conference is the focus of the activities of the Association for European Transport and is the key annual event for European transport practitioners and researchers. Because of its reputation and stature, each year the Conference attracts some 500 delegates from more than 30 countries.

A market place for business, ETC is designed to facilitate networking opportunities for business, the generation of new studies and the exchange of best practice in traffic and transport, as well as informing strategic transport planning at all levels. The key importance of networking is reflected in the Conference structure which provides ample opportunities for informal discussions and social meetings.

If you come to the Conference, it may be to present a paper or to listen to others but you will find yourself in the midst of an expanding network of professionals who are committed to a common cause moving forward the transport agenda to be tackled in Europe and its neighbouring countries. Papers are presented by active professionals and researchers, selected by the most respected members of the transport profession in Europe.

Each year, the Conference attracts new delegates, keen to experience this "meeting of minds" and to immerse themselves in three days of high-quality technical and policy presentations and discussion. About a third of delegates return each year - confirmation of the quality of the programme and presentations and the overall excellence of the value for money offered; a fact. This is also confirmed by the consistently high rating in post-conference research.
