The Cable Car Congress is a two-day congress format organised by Cable Car World. Current topics in the context of urban cable cars will be dealt with in four sections.

The congress is firmly integrated into the overall concept of Cable Car World so that all participants can use both options during the event days. In this way, every visitor can optimise their stay to suit their individual needs.

The congress will be moderated by Carmen Hentschel, keynote speaker for digitalization and mobility.
