    <full-description>The International Institute for Information Design (IIID) in Vienna is organizing a top-notch event this year in connection with public transportation. The Expert Forum &#8220;Infoconnectivity - Intertwined information for interconnected transport networks&#8220;. will focus on the effectiveness of public transport and the time it takes to change between different modes of transport. The quicker and the more efficient, the better for passengers, tourists or staff, in short: for everyone. Down-time should be reduced to an absolute minimum. However, if this so-called &#8220;inter-connectivity&#8221; between transport networks is to be enhanced, it is vital to focus on measures of improving information-connectivity (infoconnectivity) between service providers in the area of public transport.

IIID is still looking for speakers who are willing, competent and eager to speak at this international design event. 

For details on the event (4/5 September 2008) and our "Call for Speakers" (deadline: 11 June 2008) please see www.iiid-expertforum.net.

    <full-description>The International Institute for Information Design (IIID) in Vienna continues its highly successful Expert Forum Traffic &amp; Transport Information Systems into the 4th year.  Unsurpassed in its field, this year's event - Scheduled &amp; on-demand transport: Envisioning information driven alliances - will re-define 'integrated transport' and to discuss traveller information as prominent key for a new era of mobility.  The addressed re-definition shifts the focus from "transport" to "mobility" which implies an analoguous focus-shift from a provider's to a traveller's point of view. 

The Expert Forum is geared to discuss market potentials, to promote successful initiatives in user-centered mobility schemes and to exemplify the key role of information to make people abandon traditional travelling habits in exchange for sustainable alternatives with a higher degree of freedom at reasonable or even lower costs.

IIID has opened our call for speakers.  For information about our event and to view our call for speakers please visit http://www.iiid-expertforum.net.
