[Open-transport] Conferences on open transport?

[Pieter Colpaert]

Hi all,

To my frustration, finding places to discuss things like public transit 
route planning is difficult:
  * Or the conference is about applied mathematics and isn't interested 
in how the data is collected
  * Or the conference is about "smart cities/mobility" and "ITS", and 
doesn't care about any real technological improvements as it's more 
about policy making
  * Or the conference is about databases/Web and doesn't care about the 
exact problem within transit

Nevertheless, I think this mailing list contains a good mix of industry, 
academics and transit agencies. Should we organise a conference 
ourselves? Or does someone have the perfect conference which we should 
all attend?

Maybe the closest match may be State of the Map 2016?

Kind regards,

Pieter
