An event which mixes discussion about shared mobility with the sounds of classic rock music is moving to Canada, this year.

Shared Mobility Rocks takes place on 13 September at the Pipe Shop Venue & the Wallace Venue, North Vancouver.

The event was created by Flemish NGOs Autodelen.net and Mpact, which have teamed up with shared mobility firm Movmi.

The first Shared Mobility Rocks event was in 2018 in Aalst, Belgium.

The second was in Brussels and during Covid restrictions in 2021 it took the form of a 24-hour online tour around the world, connecting with people in different studios.

Last year's edition was in Bremen, Germany, with 200 participants from across Europe and countries including Japan, Mexico and Uganda.

The organisers deliberately modelled their idea for a shared mobility symposium on a music festival because this allows them "to infuse a different energy and really focus on how to make shared mobility rock from an operational and regulatory perspective".

"What started as a purely European event, has taken international guests by storm which is why Shared Mobility Rocks is going on tour," the organisers say.

New features include a mini industry showcase at the event; there will also be a live podcast on the day of the conference.
