The event will feature the following speakers:
- Ioanna Fergadiotou, Project Coordinator of URBANE and Technical Coordinator of LEAD
- Paola Cossu, Project Coordinator of DISCO, and Vice Chair of ALICE Working Group on Urban Logistics
- Manon Levrey, Project Coordinator of DECARBOMILE

Among the topics of discussion were the role played by women in sustainable urban logistics projects, gender equality, and the presence of women in the transport sector.
