Future of Transportation: Interactive Tech Workshop, Evening Reception and Panel
Humanity’s evolution is marked by our mobility. From walking to running, horse drawn carriages to the first car. Now we are shifting from gas guzzlers to electric supercars, from taxis to ridesharing, trains to Hyperloops. Where is transportation going next? Could it be that we will be driving flying cars within the next 10 years? With so many new technology innovations, climate considerations, sprawling urban centres and a renewed desire for global exploration, what does consumer adoption look like?
At this special VEF event we are pleased to be presenting our first ever Future of Transportation day to explore these questions and more. Please join us for the following programming:
1:00 pm - 4:30 pm – Interactive display of leading Transportation Technologies at Jack Poole Plaza
4:30 pm – Cocktail reception and Networking at the Vancouver Convention Centre, West Ballroom A
5:30-7:00 pm – Panel Discussion and Q&A
