Partner conferences and events
The partner conferences of polisMOBILITY will be held at the same time on the exhibition grounds in the nearby Conference Centre West. They are an integral part of polisMOBILITY and, with their specialised orientations, meaningfully round off the range of topics at polisMOBILITY relating to the mobility turnaround.
The partner events see themselves as discussion and exchange platforms for the specialist audience. Participation in a partner conference can be ideally combined with a visit to polisMOBILITY.
