3. A quiet revolution
Global issues, disruptive technologies and cultural
shifts are changing the mobility landscape, affording
consumers more choices than ever before.
Urbanites - and especially on-demanders* - are looking
beyond car ownership and sole-driving as the answers
to their mobility needs.
Smartphones have given them the freedom to go
multimodal. They can start a journey cycling, use car-
sharing, and complete the last mile with kick scooters.
In the near future, they will hail driverless cars.
New choices and new freedoms in the mobility
game are creating an urban lifestyle that is nimble,
sustainable, contemporary and cool.
4. 4 DAYS TO CELEBRATE THE
URBAN MOBILITY REVOLUTION

Innovators
Autonomy is the place to be for the
new mobility industry stakeholders.
It will showcase the sector in its
whole extent: from industry giants
to start-ups, from service providers to
manufacturers
Urbanites
Greater Paris alone has a population of
7 million. Our audience are commuters
curious about smart urban mobility
solutions. Our focus are the early
adopters, the trend-setters already
taking part in the sharing economy.
Policy makers
Autonomy will welcome elected officials
in charge of mobility questions at every
level of governments - from local to
international.
8. Our approach
The experience
Autonomy offers your
target audience a fun and
inspiring place to discover
current, and future, smart
mobility solutions.
Autonomy selects and puts the best
products and services in the hands of
the right people – influencers from the
press and the public. Consumers are
not familiar with all these products and
services and need to see, test and try
them before making a purchase decision.
Bars, foodtrucks, coffee-shops and pop-
up stores will create a recreative and
trendy atmosphere.
The platform
Autonomy offers
exhibitors a collaborative
and unconventional
platform to connect
and build a better
future together.
Autonomy offers companies a place to
exchange ideas, meet the key players,
do deals and understand their audience.
The platform will also be the place
for innovators, urbanites and elected
officials to enter a constructive dialogue
about their respective needs and
expectations regarding mobility.

Villette, from Thursday October 6th to Sunday October 9th, 2016.
Parc de la Villette is the largest urban cultural park in Paris. The Grande Halle is a beautiful, iconic 19th century
structure combining metal, wood and natural light for the perfect urban mobility venue. La Villette is well
known to our target market for premier lifestyle and cultural events. The covered track and the canal paths
are great for two-wheel testing, and the outside lawns are ideal for special events.

urbanites.
Consumers are no longer limited by what their local retailers stock and the public
now have the power to decide and broadcast what is relevant and cool,
circumventing established traditions. As a result of these changes, brands need now
more than ever to participate in events that connect their products with the right
audience in the right environment.
