Programme

Based on the outcomes of the very lively pre-meeting on April 19, we have prepared a dynamic two-day programme with interesting keynote speakers and inspiring excursions, with more news and excursions added in the coming weeks. We provide you with the latest international insights on PEDs, teach you how to get a grip on the real implementation of technologies and systems, unlock European examples and tools for planning and implementing PEDs, and offer visits to cutting-edge demonstration sites in Amsterdam, with plenty of opportunities for mingling and networking.
