Future of Mobility Event – Maifest 2018

We’re thrilled to announce Maifest 2018, our annual spring event on Sand Hill Road in the heart of Silicon Valley! As tech giants active in the autonomous and ride-hailing space make news headlines, our guiding question this year will be: “Autonomous, Connected and Supercharged: What will the Future of Mobility hold?”

Beginning at 5:30 pm, this evening event follows an afternoon conference connecting German automotive, mobility, telecommunications, energy and insurance companies with innovative early and growth-stage startups from across the US and abroad. Emphasis is placed on key trends such as Autonomous Vehicles (AVs), Electric Vehicles (EVs), Connected Car/Telematics, Charging, TNCs/ridesharing, urban mobility and logistics.

Join us for Keynote Presentations, Panel Discussion and  Q & A with mobility experts from research, industry, and finance.

?Afterwards, enjoy our Bavarian Happy Hour with German beer, wine and full menu and even a performance by traditional dancers!?
