Celebrating the smart ticketing & mobility industry's greatest achievements
Over the last decade, we have seen the smart ticketing industry grow and develop all thanks to the hard work, innovation and collaborative efforts of our community. For the eleventh annual Transport Ticketing Awards, we were delighted to be back in London to celebrate the achievements of our community.
This year gathered 240 ticketing industry professionals to celebrate at the Transport Ticketing Gala Dinner & Awards ceremony at the Royal Garden Hotel, London. Our attendees had the chance to network with their peers and recognise the incredible work done around the world to revolutionise passenger experience through ground-breaking ticketing projects.
The 2023 winners were announced on 7th March 2023 in London.
