Venue & exhibition site

Global Mobility Call will be held at IFEMA MADRID, one of Spain’s largest exhibition and congress venues. The official venue address is:

• IFEMA MADRID – Recinto Ferial
• Av. del Partenón, 5
• 28042 Madrid, Spain

The official schedule currently identifies Hall 4 as the pavilion for the event.

Hall 4 provides the physical setting for the Congress and Expo experience, allowing exhibition activity, professional meetings and conference content to operate within the same event environment. Visitors should consult the official exhibitor map when it becomes available because booth locations and the final floor plan may be updated during the preparation period.

Full event programme

The programme is built around the idea of connecting conference content with practical business and mobility solutions. Rather than treating the exhibition and congress as separate experiences, Global Mobility Call links presentations, demonstrations, networking and business development.

The official event platform currently describes a programme involving:

• Strategic presentations and keynote sessions
• Expert panel discussions
• Sector-specific meetings
• Innovation and technology demonstrations
• Workshops and working sessions
• Networking activities
• Business meetings
• Public-private collaboration
• Investment and project-development opportunities
• Thematic conferences
• Innovation sandboxes and idea labs
• Industry meetings connected with the Road to Global Mobility Call programme

The organisers have indicated that the programme leading toward the event will continue to develop through industry meetings, thematic conferences, workshops, innovation sandboxes, idea labs, working sessions and exclusive events.

The final programme for the upcoming edition should therefore be treated as subject to further announcements.

Key speakers & keynote speakers

The speaker programme for the upcoming edition has not yet been fully announced. The official website currently promotes the scale of the event with more than 200 speakers associated with the latest edition, while the detailed speaker programme is expected to be updated as preparations progress.

Previous programmes have included senior representatives from governments, public transport authorities, major companies, infrastructure organisations, technology firms, universities and international mobility institutions.

Recent editions have featured senior figures connected with organisations such as Adif, Alsa, Avanza, Iberia, Iberdrola, Metro de Madrid, Renfe, Indra and Grupo Ruiz. International participation has also included representatives from cities and public authorities across Europe and the Americas.

Visitors should rely on the official speakers page for confirmed names rather than treating previous speakers as confirmed participants for the upcoming edition.

Conference sessions & tracks

The conference programme traditionally examines mobility from multiple perspectives instead of focusing exclusively on vehicles. Its content covers the interaction between transport, energy, technology, infrastructure, cities, logistics, public policy and sustainability.

The most recent programme has been structured around mobility pathways that connect conference content with demonstrations, networking and business opportunities. These pathways are intended to help different participants follow subjects relevant to their professional objectives.

Major subject areas include:

• Public transport, MaaS and territorial cohesion
• Automotive and connected mobility
• Electrification and alternative energy
• Smart urban and rural mobility
• Logistics and freight distribution
• Mobility infrastructure
• Digitalisation and artificial intelligence
• IoT, data analytics and cybersecurity
• Road safety
• Micromobility
• Sustainable transport
• Accessible and inclusive mobility
• Investment and public-private collaboration

Previous conference discussions have also addressed charging infrastructure, electric vehicles, alternative fuels, multimodality, railway corridors, digital mobility platforms and the role of public administrations in developing sustainable transport systems.

Session times & schedule

The official schedule currently provides professional opening hours of 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM during the first two days and 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on the final day. Individual conference sessions can have different start and finish times, so visitors should consult the official programme before attending a particular presentation.

The schedule page is designed to provide updated information about presentations, talks, thematic areas, professional activities, training and networking. The organisers specifically recommend checking the programme periodically because the agenda may be expanded or modified.

For business visitors, it is useful to allow additional time around conference sessions for exhibition visits, meetings and networking.

Ticket types & registration

Global Mobility Call is a professional event. The official FAQ states that access is intended for sector professionals and requires professional registration. Registration is personal, meaning each participant must register using their own IFEMA MADRID account and email address.

The official registration page currently states that professional registration will become available closer to the event. A final public ticket price for the upcoming edition has therefore not yet been announced.

For reference, previous editions used professional accreditation and exhibitor invitation systems rather than publishing a single universal public admission price. Because no reliable standard attendee price is currently published for the upcoming edition, an unsupported USD figure should not be presented as the official ticket cost.

Exhibitors can also generate invitation codes through the Expo Zone. These invitations can be redeemed during the professional registration process.

Registration deadlines

No final registration deadline has been published yet for the upcoming edition.

Professional registration is expected to become available closer to the event. Once registration opens, visitors should complete their accreditation as early as practical, particularly if they require an invitation, business meeting arrangements or international travel documentation.

Exhibitors have a separate participation process through the Expo Zone. Their deadlines, payment schedules and stand requirements are different from visitor registration requirements.

Exhibitor list & major companies

The final exhibitor list for the upcoming edition has not yet been published. The official FAQ explains that the exhibitor catalogue and Liveconnect will provide access to participating companies, while the exhibitor map will become available when it is ready.

The event’s exhibitor profile covers a wide range of organisations, including:

• Sustainable vehicle manufacturers
• Mobility technology companies
• Energy companies
• Charging infrastructure providers
• Passenger and freight transport companies
• Last-mile delivery businesses
• Digital mobility solution providers
• Micromobility companies
• Infrastructure companies
• Research and mobility services

Previous editions have included major mobility and infrastructure organisations such as Adif, Alsa, Avanza, Moeve, EMT Madrid, Iberia, Iberdrola, Metro de Madrid, Renfe, Indra and Grupo Ruiz. Other technology and charging companies have also used the exhibition to present mobility solutions.

These previous participants should be regarded as examples of the event’s exhibitor profile, not as a confirmed exhibitor list for the upcoming edition.

Exhibition halls & floor plan

The official schedule currently places Global Mobility Call in Hall 4 at IFEMA MADRID.

The detailed floor plan for the upcoming edition is not yet available. According to the official FAQ, visitors will be able to consult the exhibitor map once it becomes available, while the exhibitor catalogue and Liveconnect will provide additional information about participating organisations.

The exhibition is designed around several mobility-related areas, including automotive, energy, smart urban and rural mobility, public transport, IoT and cybersecurity, land mobility, logistics, infrastructure, sustainability and safe, inclusive mobility.

Networking & business meetings

Networking is one of the central purposes of Global Mobility Call. The event is designed to connect companies, governments, cities, investors, technology providers, transport operators and other stakeholders who may have complementary mobility projects or business objectives.

The official Liveconnect platform allows participants to discover exhibitors and products, schedule meetings, receive recommendations, access content and establish professional connections.

Business visitors can use the event to:

• Meet potential customers and suppliers
• Discover technology partners
• Explore investment opportunities
• Develop public-private partnerships
• Discuss mobility projects with government representatives
• Connect with transport operators
• Identify emerging technology providers
• Arrange meetings with exhibitors
• Follow specialist conference discussions

This combination of exhibition, conference and digital networking makes the event particularly useful for professionals who want both market intelligence and direct business contacts.

Industry sectors & highlights

Global Mobility Call covers a broad mobility ecosystem rather than one individual transport segment. The official exhibitor information identifies automotive, energy, smart urban and rural mobility, public transport, multimodal mobility, digital technologies, logistics, infrastructure and sustainability as major areas.

Key industry themes include electrification, charging networks, connected vehicles, intelligent transport systems, public transport, MaaS, logistics, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, data analytics and cybersecurity.

The event also places considerable emphasis on sustainable development and practical implementation. Its conference content has historically explored how cities, transport operators, technology providers and public authorities can work together to create safer, cleaner and more efficient mobility systems.

Recent programmes have also given significant attention to buses and coaches, collective transport, corporate mobility, road safety, micromobility, automotive technology and the wider vehicle value chain.

Event rules & visitor information

Global Mobility Call is a professional event, so visitors should complete the appropriate professional registration before attempting to enter the venue. Registration is personal and each attendee must use their own IFEMA MADRID account.

Important visitor considerations include:

• Carry your valid event accreditation when attending.
• Check the official schedule before travelling to the venue.
• Confirm the final hall and exhibitor location before meeting a company.
• Use the official exhibitor catalogue or Liveconnect for business planning.
• Follow IFEMA MADRID security and access procedures.
• Assistance dogs and other permitted exceptions are subject to applicable regulations.
• International visitors requiring visa support should follow the official procedure and contact the organisers in advance.

The official registration information also states that animals are generally not permitted at the IFEMA MADRID site except for assistance dogs or other exceptions permitted by applicable regulations.

How to get there

IFEMA MADRID is located in the Campo de las Naciones area of Madrid and has direct connections with the city’s public transport network.

The venue address is Av. del Partenón, 5, 28042 Madrid, Spain.

The main access options include:

• Metro Line 8 to Feria de Madrid
• Bus services serving the exhibition centre
• Taxi access through the venue gates
• Road access from Madrid’s M11, M40 and A2 routes

The official Global Mobility Call information identifies Metro Line 8 and the Feria de Madrid station as a principal public transport option.

Public transport & parking

Metro Line 8 is one of the most convenient options for reaching IFEMA MADRID, with Feria de Madrid station providing direct access to the exhibition complex.

The official information also identifies bus routes 73, 112, 122 and 828. Taxi access is available through the South and North Gates. Drivers can approach the venue using M40 exits 5–7, M11 exits 5 and 7, and A2 exit 7.

Visitors arriving by car should allow additional time for parking and venue access, particularly during busy professional periods. Using public transport can be practical for attendees staying in central Madrid.

Accommodation areas

Visitors can choose accommodation either close to IFEMA MADRID or in central Madrid, depending on whether convenience or sightseeing is the priority.

The Campo de las Naciones and Feria de Madrid areas are particularly practical for attendees who want to minimise daily travel to the venue. Barajas is another convenient area because of its proximity to the exhibition centre and Madrid-Barajas Airport.

For visitors who want easier access to restaurants, cultural attractions and evening activities, central areas such as Salamanca, Chamberí, Centro and Retiro can provide a broader choice of hotels and dining options. Metro connections make it possible to combine a central stay with travel to the exhibition venue.

Business travellers should consider choosing accommodation near a Metro Line 8 connection or another convenient route to IFEMA MADRID.

Previous year’s highlights

Because there is no completed edition immediately preceding the upcoming event currently documented by the official website, the most recent completed edition provides the strongest verified reference point.

The latest published results report more than 5,000 visitors, more than 80 sessions and more than 200 speakers. The event brought together companies, institutions and professionals from across the mobility ecosystem.

The previous programme demonstrated the breadth of the event, covering public transport, MaaS, automotive technology, electrification, mobility infrastructure, logistics, digitalisation and innovation. Strategic participation included organisations such as Adif, Alsa, Avanza, Iberia, Iberdrola, Metro de Madrid, Renfe, Indra and Grupo Ruiz.

Earlier editions also demonstrated strong growth. One completed edition attracted more than 8,000 professionals in person, around 450 opinion leaders and influential personalities, and approximately 115 round tables and keynote sessions.

The event has also used awards, startup initiatives and innovation showcases to highlight emerging mobility solutions. Previous startup activities included an international mobility challenge involving more than 50 participants and finalists presenting solutions related to sustainable workplace mobility.

Professional registration for Global Mobility Call is handled through the official IFEMA MADRID event platform. Registration for the upcoming edition is currently expected to become available closer to the event, so visitors should use the official registration page rather than relying on third-party ticket sellers.
