The Electric Vehicle Symposium is the largest electric vehicle conference in the world; this year it attracted over 9,000 industry leaders to Stuttgart, Germany to learn about global industry trends, technology, and best practices. Forth staff were joined by members EV4 LLC, Mentor, A Siemens Business, EV Safe Charge and partner Charged Electric Vehicles Magazine as co-exhibitors.

Forth's Executive Director Jeff Allen presented a paper highlighting our history of successful public-private partnerships, while Deputy Director Zach Henkin presented two poster sessions highlighting our Northwest Electric Showcase and our equity work.  Zach and Jeff both moderated sessions, and the team participated in many side meetings and tours. During the conference, the prestigious E-Visionary Award – given to just one North American region each year - was presented to the City of Portland.
