Insights on demand: Watch every session from our 2023 User Days

All nine sessions from our 2023 User Days are now available to watch on demand

In 2023, CNA returned to Venice for our annual User Days. Delegates throughout the transport ticketing community joined us at the Casinò di Venezia for two days of discussion and debate on the latest trends in contactless ticketing.

This ranged from how to meet local needs, to the global mobility macro-trends of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), as well as standardising ticketing with Calypso technology beyond transport. If you couldn’t be there, or if you simply want to hear them again, each session is now available on our YouTube channel.

We would like to thank AVM/ACTV for sponsoring the event and hosting us in Venice. Your support has made this event possible – Grazie!
