Discuss topical issues.
Over the years the InnoTrans Convention has become firmly established as an international meeting place for top decision-makers from the business, political and transportation communities. Featuring high-profile panel discussions and expert talks on current and future-focused mobility topics, the InnoTrans Convention is the ideal platform for the exchange of views on an equal footing. This is where tomorrow’s transport issues can be discussed at an international level.
The Dialog Forum is the Convention’s main thematic focus. It is organized by the German Transport Forum (DVF); the Association of German Transport Companies (VDV); the Association of the European Rail Industry (UNIFE) and the German Railway Industry Association (VDB).
