Let's have a date. Let's meet next month at the BUS2BUS event in Berlin and discuss together about all the good work our industry is doing in helping people move better. There are quite a few exciting stories in the March issue of the newsletter that stand out as a proof. And don't forget that Smart Move wants to reward all this good work this year, so come forward and nominate candidates that you find worthy of the Smart Move Awards.
