The 10th Conference and Annual General Meeting of the European Passengers' Federation will be held in Salzburg, Austria, on Saturday March 10th 2012. The events will take place in the Best Western Parkhotel, a short walk from Salzburg's main station.
The conference will be preceded on Friday afternoon, March 9th, by a seminar on public transport in and around Salzburg - which includes train, bus and trolleybus. The welcome dinner will take place on Friday evening.
On Saturday morning the conference will hear speakers on challenges to urban transport and the experiences of rail liberalisation. In the afternoon, speakers will deal with long-distance rail travel at European level and the work of EPF, including our current urban transport comparative survey. We shall also learn about the work of Pro Bahn Österreich, the Austrian rail users' association which is hosting our 2012 conference.
Salzburg and its region contain much of historic, cultural and transport interest, and for delegates staying until Sunday there will be a choice of excursions.
The EPF conference is an excellent opportunity for public transport users throughout Europe to network, learn from each others' experiences and have dialogue with important figures in the public transport sphere.
The registration fee for members of EPF-affiliated associations has been maintained at 65 euro, which includes documents, drinks and lunch on Saturday. There are extra charges for the Friday evening meal and Sunday excursions. There will be an extra 10 euro charge for persons registering after February 17th. The fee for non-members is 100 euro. Full details will be available from December.
