A marketing strategy brings everything together. Without one you waste time and money and going round in circles.

Knowing that you don’t know is one thing. Not knowing what you don’t know is worse…

Similar to good event management, a crucial element of business development is planning and attention to detail.

Corporate communication is a key element in your content marketing plan. It drives the consistent messages, both internally and externally, you wish to convey.

Of the many elements you need to get right in running an event, tight organisation is arguably the most important. Once the objective of the event has been established, you can’t afford to leave any stone unturned in the planning, organisation and execution.

Figuring out what your clients value, developing your offer accordingly and delivering the right and consistent message to them at the right time.

Whether you’re supplying editorial or taking up one of our standard or bespoke advertising packages, we take your messages to the people that need to hear them through a choice of publishing channels.

The LRT Monitor brings the facts, figures and contacts together in one place, so now it’s easy to search, find and get the information you need.

Now in its 84th year, Tramways & Urban Transit is unique as a publication founded on the needs of scheme promoters, transport operators, planners, consultants, manufacturers and campaigners for better public transport in our congested towns and cities.

European Light Rail Congress

Wednesday March 22, 2023 to Thursday March 23, 2023

Light Rail: The backbone of sustainable mobility

The European Light Rail Congress brings together senior and key professionals for two days of debate around urban development strategy and innovation with light rail as a key driver to sustainable mobility.

Following a successful fourth running in May 2022, planning is already well underway for next year’s event in the spectacular setting of the La Laguna Gran Hotel, located in the heart of the historic centre of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Tenerife.

With presentations, interactive debate and exhibitions from the sector’s most innovative suppliers and service providers, this two-day congress also includes a technical visit, evening receptions and over eight hours of dedicated networking sessions.

For 2023, we are delighted to have the support of Metrotenerife, with Metrotenerife Chairman and Vice-President of the Government of Tenerife, Enrique Arriaga commenting: “The change and improvement of mobility in the city is a priority. As the most important annual meeting in Europe on light rail and urban tramways, in 2023 we will present our model of sustainable mobility and the innovation, technology, strategic solutions and design keys to the present and future of public transport and mobility.”
