Where Culture meets Innovation and Technology

OUR EVENT

Inform, Entertain, Share

IMG_6059.jpg

meets is a new, innovative, creative and interactive event format. It will take place in summer (weather permitting, we will be outdoors) and will cover various topics related to mobility. For an unforgettable and unique event, we have come up with something engaging and special: a collaboration with the Locarno Film Festival! At the Swiss Life Lounge (one of the main stage of the Locarno Film Festival), located behind Palexpo Locarno and closed to the Forum @Spazio Cinema, we will hold an evening debate on today’s and tomorrow’s mobility. An iconic, modern and high-impact venue with a very high attendance. By the way, we care about connections, we care about communication, and we care about simplicity. So if you are attending the event, we have three simple rules: Everyone is on first name terms, no ties are allowed, dress colorfully if you can and feel comfortable.

 

meets: where culture meets innovation and technology.

WHO WE ARE

Meet the Core Team

We see ourselves as much more than an organization or a team, but as a family of like-minded, kind and talented people who love working together to influence the future of mobility. Sometimes we allow ourselves to do some awesome sh*t, promoting a sustainable approach to mobility, and being a small non-profit organization helps create strong connections.
