Dear Vertical Transportation Industry Colleagues,

I am delighted to invite you to Lisbon for Elevcon 2025, the 24^th International Congress on Vertical Transportation. The upcoming Elevcon Congress will be held June 17-19, 2025 in Lisbon, Portugal.

Nestled along the Tagus River, Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in Europe, a city steeped in history, culture, and charm. With its maze-like streets adorned with colorful tiles, picturesque hilltop vistas, and a lively culinary scene, Lisbon invites travelers to explore its treasures at every turn.

The Elevcon Congress brings together subject matter experts, professionals, and enthusiasts from across the industry to explore the latest developments, exchange insights, and foster collaboration. With a 3-day professional program featuring presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities, there will be ample opportunities to learn, connect, and expand horizons.

As the congress chairwoman, I am excited to invite you to participate in the congress, which promises, as always, to be a gathering of minds, ideas, and innovations. I realize time is short for you to write an article, but your participation is not only welcomed but valued. The deadline for sending an abstract is September 15, 2024, and the final paper is due December 15, 2024. We would be pleased to have you contribute to the congress agenda and discussions and help shape the esteemed Elevator Technology Book of Proceedings.

On behalf of the International Association of Elevator Engineers (IAEE) I would like to extend a warm welcome to association and non-association members to Elevcon 2025 in Lisbon!

Looking forward to seeing you in Lisbon in the summer of 2025!

Dr. Marja-Liisa Siikonen, M.Sc, Ph.D.
