On 10 September 2013, one day before the actual conference start on 11 September, six exciting pre-conferences will take place. Among other topics, the issues of shared space, measuring walking and pedestrian safety will be discussed. A two-day study trip will offer you on-site impressions in different German cities with Deutsche Bahn (German Railway).
In the evening of 10 September, all participants of the six pre-conferences will gather for an informal Get-together in Green City Energy’s Orange Bar (admission € 10 incl. buffet). Socialise, connect and get a head start on the upcoming conference while enjoying the rooftop view over Munich in a casual atmosphere.
