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 entering its 82nd 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.

Driving innovation: Applied technology for light and urban rail

EU Light Rail brings together leading opinion-formers and decision-makers from across Europe for two days of debate around the role of technology in the development of sustainable urban travel. With presentations and exhibitions from some of the industry’s most innovative suppliers and service providers, this congress also includes technical visits and over eight hours of networking sessions.

For 2020, we are delighted to be holding the event in the beautiful city of Zaragoza in conjunction with our partners: Tranvía Zaragoza, Mobility City and the Fundación Ibercaja.

Mobility City

Mobility City is an international project of Fundación Ibercaja, with the support of the public society Zaragoza Expo Empresarial, designed to promote the development of mobility and its innovation in the Spanish region of Aragón.

This strategic project will inform the future of mobility in the development of political decision-making. It also allows the partners to share their expertise and innovative ideas, working together in the creation of Mobility as a Service.

Mobility City is an exciting project to design the future, a showcase for Zaragoza, a look to future sustainability, as well as a strategic initiative for the development of Aragón at different levels: economic, technological and innovative.
