News – Transit Mapping Symposium

Seoul Symposium Cancelled

February 25, 2020 • 0 Comment

Unfortunately, due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia and Europe, we are forced to cancel the event. Please get in contact with us by email for registration refund.

Harsh travel restrictions and quarantines make it impossible for our guests and speakers to plan their journey and join us in a serene atmosphere.

It was a difficult decision for us, as we have put a lot of time and effort in the last 6 months to organize this event, and it is with great sadness that we have to call it off. We stand with our Asian friends and wish for the best in the coming months.

Please sign up for our mailing list for news on the next edition, once the situation has calmed down.

We’ll publish more information on the individual speakers and talks in the coming weeks, and we’ll also confirm the room that we’ll be using in Concordia University’s JMSB building soon.

The two days will be divided into 4 distinct topics:

Each talk will last approximately 30 minutes, with about 10 minutes for questions after. We will then have a panel discussion with the speakers after each topic.
