Three reasons why you should attend the SUMP Conference in Groningen this year

1. Planning for sustainable and active cities

The SUMP Conference is Europe’s leading events for urban mobility experts, decision-makers and stakeholders that are committed to make urban mobility more sustainable by putting the SUMP concept into practice. More than 500 participants will debate key issues, exchange ideas on urban mobility planning and network in this year’s edition, Planning for sustainable and active cities.

2. The revised SUMP Guidelines

One of the most awaited elements of this year’s edition is the debate on the revision of the SUMP guidelines, which will provide local authorities with a clear framework for the development and implementation of a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan. The two central streams of sessions will allow experts and stakeholders to engage in an open dialogue on the updated SUMP guidelines and the new topic guides.
