2) New themes and topics, spotlighting the latest trends and discussions shaping the industry
In its eighth iteration, MOVE is refining its positioning, moving from a converged mobility event, incorporating verticals from across the entire mobility ecosystem, to a sharply focused auto tech event.
This year, our agenda will centre the technology that sits behind innovations in automotive, platforming the industry leaders shaping the future of electric, autonomous and software-defined mobility.
To reflect this repositioning, our agenda features two brand-new stages, SDV (day 1) and Design (day 1).
Attendees should anticipate a heavier tech focus, with more of the agenda dedicated to autonomous vehicles, SDV and cybersecurity.
3) Brand-new Mobility VIP Lounge offering invite-only networking opportunities
We’ve carved out a specific space on the floor for our MOVE VIPs, providing an invite-only VIP Lounge that ensures ultimate comfort and exclusive access for investors, OEMs, fleets and CPOs. The Mobility VIP Lounge is the perfect space to carry out high-impact discussion in an exclusive and private networking setting. If you think you qualify, get in touch today!
