The European Transport Conference (ETC) is the international networking event for transport professionals to share innovation, best practice and networking.

Now in its 38th year, ETC is unique in Europe, attracting over 500 transport practitioners and researchers from more than 30 countries to one meeting place, where they can find in-depth presentations on policy issues, best practice and research findings across a broad spectrum of transport modes. The unique feature of ETC is its multi-seminar approach. The structure of the conference embraces a balance of practice and research.
