Policy, industry, cities and academia. Road, rail, air and sea. The ITS World Congress brings the whole intelligent transport ecosystem together in one place, for five days in Birmingham.
• Academia
Thirty-three editions across three continents, from Paris in 1994 to Birmingham in 2027. Each Congress gathers the global intelligent transport community to share what works, turning three decades of ideas into the systems that keep the world's cities and roads moving.

The host region
The United Kingdom is one of the world's leading centres for intelligent transport, where government, industry and academia develop, test and deploy new mobility at scale. From connected and automated vehicles to digital infrastructure and cleaner public transport, delegates see real-world deployment, not just hear about it.
Exhibition and partnership opportunities for Birmingham 2027 are open. Position your organisation at the centre of the global mobility conversation, in front of the public authorities and industry leaders who make deployment decisions.
Hundreds of sessions, organised around four main topics that cut across the whole programme.
The Call for Contributions runs from 22 October 2026 – 22 January 2027.
Register your interest to be first to hear when the full programme and Call for Contributions go live.
ITS Arena
The ITS Arena is where deployment stories are told: cities, operators and industry on stage with the systems they actually run. The Arena returns to Birmingham at the heart of the exhibition floor.
Testimonials
Events like the ITS European Congress are key because they turn policy into implementation. They bring together public authorities, industry and financiers to align standards and regulations, accelerate deployment of smart and green mobility solutions and generate concrete, investable projects.
