CONFERENCE PROGRAM
Welcome!
Urban mobility is no longer an auxiliary concern. It is now central to economic vitality, environmental resilience, and social equity. This year’s Navigate Mobility brings together the people shaping the systems that shape our cities. This is not a forum for the abstract, but for practitioners and decision-makers to interrogate what’s working, what isn’t, and why. The objective is simple but ambitious: to convert intent into implementation, and implementation into measurable impact.
- 13 November 2025 (Networking dinner on 12 November 2025)
- Prague, Czech Republic

VALUE PROPOSITION
Join industry leaders to explore actionable solutions for sustainable city transport, forge strategic partnerships, and gain insights that drive real world change. Invest two days to gain years’ worth of industry insights, connections, and opportunities that can propel your urban mobility initiatives forward
WHY NOW?
Urban mobility is hitting a convergence point. Technological readiness has outpaced institutional readiness. Public expectations are outpacing policy adaptation and the environmental clock is running out of slack. This moment demands mature discussions, not just about innovation, but about integration. About how legacy infrastructure, emergent tools, and evolving governance models can co-exist and co-function within the same ecosystem. The conference is built to foster these layered, often uncomfortable, but critically necessary conversations
