About IAA Mobility

The IAA Car Show allows professionals to network and exchange information. IAA Cars furthermore enable them to learn about innovations and gain recognition. IAA Car features a detailed event program that helps to complete such goals.

Among the leading events within the schedule is the IAA Summit. This is due to the Summit allowing start-ups and leading industry experts to learn about the latest innovations and discuss challenges. Often, the focus of the event is on mobility resolutions. This incorporates self-directed vehicles, eScooters, bikes, and innovative public transport models.

Another event of interest within the IAA Car’s programme is the Mobility Conference. It is a platform where professionals can expand their knowledge through various sub-events. Among them are the Academy Masterclasses. They provide in-depth information about modern applications and ingenious mobility concepts. Classes vary between 1 and 2 hours. They allow up to 30 attendees to network and expand their knowledge. Each session features a leading expert as the lecturer.

Another sub-event featured within the Conference is the Business Club House. It is a dedicated dialogue area where exhibitors can present themselves. They can achieve the task via public lectures press meetings, discussions, and product presentations. The Club House is available in Hall 2 of Messe Munich and consists of 300 m2.

The Sustainability Lounge is like the Business Club House. It is the main discussion event for sustainability topics. The Lounge provides a meeting location for businesses, experts, and senior trade professionals. The Lounge includes leading experts such as Hans-Peter Kleebinder as the hosts. It focuses on subjects like mobility transformation and circular economy. It consists of four hour-and-a-half panels. Each day begins with a morning briefing. The briefings feature leading figures such as Anja Kohl as moderators.

One of the main events of the IAA Mobility is the IAA #mobilitython. It is a hackathon for the mobility transition that provides high recognition. The event allows winners to each prize worth 15 000 euros. Winners also have a chance to have their solutions used by a leading company. The #mobilitython is a free-to-participate event for part-time, freelance, graduate and start-up teams.

Both leading companies and young professionals can look forward to the IAA Career. It is a decentralised platform where such participants can network. The platform allows companies to present themselves as potential employers. This allows young IT, engineering, and vehicle technology talents to find work.
