Highlights for 2020 include new editions of our biennial events like IT-TRANS, the MENA Transport Congress & Exhibition, and SITCE. This year, we also have the Taxi and Ride-hailing Conference and Exhibition—a must-attend for the new mobility sector—and finally, we will be celebrating our Annual Reception in June for a very special occasion!

In Dubai, UAE, from 13-15 April 2020, our biennial MENA Transport Congress & Exhibition will be held under the theme ‘Building the future of mobility’. This world-class event aims to promote public transport throughout the region, provide opportunities for delegates to share their experiences and reinforce the voice and involvement of MENA on the development of public transport on a worldwide level. Register to attend!

Straying from our usual tradition of holding an Annual Reception in January with the start of the New Year, this year the reception will take place on 4 June 2020 in Brussels, Belgium. The UITP Annual Reception is the occasion to meet and toast to our achievements and future projects. This year, we have an extra reason to celebrate as our association becomes 135 years old—that’s 135 years of advancing public transporttogether! Please note that this event is open to UITP members only.  

For its fourth edition, theLTA-UITP Singapore International Transport Congress & Exhibition (SITCE) 2020 will bring international urban mobility stakeholders to convene under the theme ‘Heartbeat of Mobility’. This theme aims to bring our attention back to the core issues that pulsate through the heart of urban mobility: a people-centric approach that ensures an inclusive, safe and convenient commuter experience must lie at the heart of discussions.
