The eFTI Joint Yearly Conference is coming to Paris! Registrations are now open for “From Policy to Practice: Preparing Europe for eFTI Implementation”, the third edition of the eFTI Yearly Conference, taking place on 27-28 October 2026 in Paris and online.
The conference is organised by the eFTI4ALL and eFTI4EU projects and hosted by the French Ministry of Transport – DGITM with the support of IN Groupe. Over two days, it will bring together the organisations and professionals working to transform the European eFTI framework into a functioning and interconnected digital ecosystem.
