2026 CSA Annual Conference

Carsharing at the Core

Celebrating the shared mobility OG and its essential role in how we move.

October 5-6, 2026 | Vancouver, B.C

Over two days, we’ll dig into why carsharing remains a cornerstone of sustainable, multimodal transport—and how operators, cities, and partners can keep it thriving alongside transit, micromobility, and active transportation. Expect practical sessions, honest conversations, and plenty of opportunities to swap ideas, stories, and lessons learned with peers who understand your work.

Who's invited?

This conference is open to everyone working in “the carsharing eco-system”:

Carshare operators, co-ops, start-ups, and established providers
Product, service and UX designers
Policy makers and public servants
Urban and rural transportation planners
Transit agencies and municipal staff
Researchers, advocates, and NGOs
Technology and platform providers
Funders, investors, and partners in the shared mobility ecosystem
Insurance, legal and not-for-profit environmental organizations

If your work touches shared cars, multimodal networks, or reducing private car dependence, we’d love to see you there.

Location: Vancouver

We’re gathering in Vancouver, just across the water from downtown Vancouver – once dubbed the ‘Carsharing capital of North America’, thanks to its mature ecosystem of operators and strong public support for shared mobility.

Here, carsharing isn’t theoretical—it’s part of everyday life. Operators like Modo and Evo are deeply integrated into the local transport network, making this an ideal backdrop to explore what’s possible when carsharing is treated as essential infrastructure rather than a niche add-on.

Venue: Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier

The conference will take place at the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier in Lower Lonsdale, just steps from the waterfront, great restaurants, and the SeaBus with direct access to downtown Vancouver.

All sessions will be hosted in the hotel’s ballroom spaces, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Burrard Inlet and the Vancouver skyline—an inspiring backdrop that reflects the region we’re here to learn from.

For attendees travelling from outside the region or internationally, a block of guest rooms has been reserved at the Pinnacle for the duration of the conference, offering the convenience of staying right where everything is happening.

To book, you can call the hotel’s reservations line at 604-986-7437 or reserve online at https://www.pinnaclepierhotel.com/ using the group code 261005CARS.
