In tandem with the ITS Ireland Conference, the ITS Roads Authority User group will be held in the Mullingar Park Hotel from 13.30 to 16.00 on the 20-10-2022.

It will be held the day before the ITS Annual Conference which is at the same location.  Recent interactions of the User Group have been online but this event will be an in person event only.

As usual the User Group is an open invitation to Road Authority professionals to network and share best practice in the expanding brief of Intelligent Transport Systems. The format of the event is informal and will as usual be a world café event. This format allows  a structured conversation for information sharing in which groups of people discuss a topic at several tables with a diversity of peers from other national Roads Authority professionals.
