Future tunnels – keeping up with technology

There seems to be a never-ending cycle of new technologies being developed within every field. This includes the tunnel-industry. The market keeps on delivering new cutting-edge technology, which can act as quite the double-edged sword. On one side the developments lead to constant improvement, but it also makes it harder to find stable technical solutions for the maintenance of tunnels.
 
At the Via Nordica 2024 Congress, there is a session dedicated to the future of tunnels and how to keep up with technological advancements. The session will use real life examples to showcase the constant dilemmas.
 
To moderate the session, we have Emelie Bjerkander, Safety Officer at the Danish Road Directorate and Mette Waldorff, Safety Officer at A/S Øresundsbroen.
 
Joining them on stage, will be:
Ulf Malmros, Specialist OT at the Swedish Transport Administration.
Oddvar Kaarmo, Head of Projects, Norwegian Administration of Public Roads
Ahmed Al-Samarray, Senior Engineer Geologist, Norwegian Administration of Public Roads
Peter Henningsen, Design Manager E&M Monitoring and Control Systems, Femern A/S.

Transition to climate smart road freight

We cannot achieve a greener future without transforming the road freight industry. The mobility of people and goods are essential for global prosperity, but it must be executed a way which is compatible with the climate targets set by the UN and EU.
 
At the Via Nordica 2024 Congress, we have a session dedicated to the discussion about how best to proceed when transitioning road freight into climate smart road freight.
 
The session will be moderated by Mårten Johansson. Head of Technique at the Swedish Association of Road Transport Companies. Joining him on stage will be:
Andreas Egense, Head of Department at the Danish Road Directorate
Lena Larsson, Project Manager at Volvo
Martin Frimann Mortensen, Engineering Consultant at the Danish Road Directorate
And Otto Lahti, Chief Advisor at Traficom.

Where to stay in Copenhagen

You can either book hotels on your own or when registering for the conference. We suggest that you do this well in advance.

Hotel rooms have been pre-booked at special conference rates for the participants at the venue hotel and in two other hotels in the vicinity of the venue. We encourage you to book the hotel when you make your registration online so you will not risk that your preferred hotel is fully booked.

If for some reason it is more convenient for you to book the hotel room after having registered for the conference it is still possible to book and achieve the favourable conference rate, as long as rooms are available.
