“NABSA, and its annual conference convening leaders in the micromobility industry, is an essential force in building relationships and pushing for policies that set shared bike and scooter systems up for growing impact in communities across North America. Lyft is proud to play a Presenting Sponsor role again for this year’s conference after learning firsthand the value of sponsorship over the past 3 years. Serving as a sponsor not only allows us to support NABSA, but also gives us a powerful forum to demonstrate industry leadership and expand our relationships.”

– Caroline Samponaro, Lyft

“PBSC was happy to sponsor the 2017 NABSA conference as it took place in Montreal. The NABSA conference is a unique occasion to exchange with all the North American Bikeshare stakeholders and great opportunity To spend time with many of our clients at the same time and meet Bikeshare colleagues.”

– Adrian Popovici, PBSC

“Today, the discoveries and ventures within the micromobility sector make the NABSA conference a dynamic and ever-changing venue where everyone can come and learn from the latest developments in the sector. On that note, it should be remembered that nothing like NABSA exists beyond North America, so the potential for the association to become the leading policymaker for bike sharing at a global level is real. NABSA is, without doubt, the global bike sharing conference worldwide.” – Kristian Brink, Urban Sharing
