The ITS World Congress is the global congress for intelligent transport systems. It rotates each year between Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific, and the 33rd edition comes to the NEC Birmingham from 25 to 29 October 2027. It marks the congress’s return to the UK for the first time since London 2006, with 15,000+ participants expected.

Public transport authorities, road operators, city governments and technology vendors meet here. For ITS and mobility companies, it’s direct access to public buyers, but only in Europe some years.

The congress app

An official ITS World Congress app provides the programme, exhibitor list and networking. Public officials are hard to reach via apps alone.
