The 4th International Conference on Sustainable Mobility & 2022 IRF Annual Conference will be hosted in Marrakech on 6th October 2022. It will gather high-level stakeholders from the public and private sectors as well as start-ups to discuss innovative approaches to accelerate the roll-out of safe, inclusive and climate-friendly transport infrastructure projects for sustainable economic prosperity and strong recovery from the pandemic.

The conference will take place in person and participation is free of charge but there are a limited number of places available and registration is mandatory.
