TECH Meetups proudly presents Smart Parking & Mobility Solutions 2025, an afternoon gathering organised by AVITECH in partnership with HUB Parking Technology, focused on innovations in smart parking tailored for retail destinations. This event brings together leading parking-technology experts, retail property operators, and solution providers to explore how advanced parking systems can enhance customer experience, increase operational efficiency, and generate additional revenue for shopping malls, hypermarkets, and supermarket chains.
This meetup is designed for:
• Executives and decision-makers from supermarket and hypermarket chains who oversee property management, operations, or facilities.
• Managers and operational staff of shopping malls and retail centres responsible for parking, guest services, or asset performance.
• Retail landlords, real estate investors, and developers interested in integrating smart parking as part of their customer service or sustainability strategy.
• Technology partners, consultants, and suppliers offering parking hardware, software, digital parking platforms, or analytics.
• Marketing and customer-experience leads seeking ways to leverage parking as a competitive differentiator or loyalty driver.
Participants will gain valuable insight into how cutting-edge parking and mobility technologies can transform the retail parking experience. Specifically, you will:
• Discover how HUB Parking Technology’s suite of solutions (including license plate recognition, cloud-based parking management systems, mobile pre-booking, validation platforms, and mobile payments) are being used in retail destinations worldwide.
• Learn how to reduce queues, eliminate paper tickets, streamline entry/exit, and enhance security and auditing.
• Understand best practices for integrating parking operations with marketing, loyalty programmes, and store-level promotions.
• Hear case studies from retail sites that have successfully improved customer satisfaction, increased occupancy, optimised tariffing, and reduced operational overheads.
• Network with peers in the retail and technology sectors to share insights, challenges, and opportunities in smart parking and mobility.
By attending, you will leave with:
• A clear understanding of HUB’s solutions for shopping centers: one-platform approaches combining LPR (License Plate Recognition), mobile booking apps, digital validations for retailers, and centralised cloud dashboards.
• Methods to design dynamic parking tariffs and occupancy balancing to encourage efficient use of near-entrance bays while utilising rooftop or peripheral spaces.
• How to deploy parking guidance and wayfinding systems (sensors, signage) to reduce congestion, improve safety, and lower emissions.
• Tools for collecting and analysing real-time analytics on dwell times, peak traffic flows, and occupancy to inform staffing, cleaning, and marketing decisions.
• Best practices for integrating parking operations with loyalty programmes, digital voucher systems, mobile payment platforms, and tenant-driven promotions.
