Invitation to Connect Karo conference

[Amit Bhatt]

Dear All,

 

We would like to invite you to the third edition of our annual conference CONNECTKaro, which will take place at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi on 15 and 16 April 2015. Over 350 experts including government officials, policy makers and practitioners in the field of urban transport and urban planning will convene to participate in this international event.  Several political leaders, senior bureaucrats, business leaders and experts are expected to attend.

This year's theme, Smart Cities for Sustainable Development, will focus on how improved mobility and access, enhanced urban design, equitable land management, and good financing models will help Indian cities grow efficiently, sustainably, and inclusively, transforming urban life in India. 

 

For the first time, we will also be presenting the CONNECTKaro Awards 2015, inviting applications from leading and emerging players in the field of sustainable mobility. The theme for this year’s awards is Active Transport, and aims to recognise initiatives undertaken by organisations, teams, and individuals that are bold, innovative, and have successfully changed peoples’ travel behaviours.

 

CONNECTKaro is part of a global series of events hosted by the EMBARQ Network. Eminent speakers at these past events have included Michael Bloomberg, Jaime Lerner and Jan Gehl. 250 participants attended the last edition of CONNECTKaro, with 2000 people joining sessions online.

 

We would be honoured if you could find time in your busy schedule to participate in the event. Log on to connectkaro.org to register to attend, view the agenda, see a list of key speakers, and other information. Please let us know if you have any questions or need any additional information.

 

Sincerely,

Amit
