ITS World Congress 2025, to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, August 24-28, 2025, has announced the event’s theme will be “Deploying Today, Empowering Tomorrow” and that Ramin Massoumi, global solutions director with Arcadis will serve as chair for the 2025 ITS World Congress Board of Directors.
The event, hosted in partnership with ITS America and produced by RX, aims to reinforce that the industry is actively deploying technology right now that will build safer roads and a stronger economy for the future.
“Our industry is investing in innovation to build stronger, more resilient transportation infrastructure to support the needs of communities,” ITS America, president and CEO, Laura Chace. “To advance that work, we are excited to partner with Arcadis, an industry leader in adaptable mobility and making our transportation network work safer, greener, and smarter.”
“I believe in the power of technology and innovation to create better outcomes for people as they use our transportation network every day,” says Massoumi. “Arcadis is proud to join ITS America, ITS America Events, and truly the world as Atlanta takes center stage in 2025!”
Atlanta was chosen as the location for ITS World Congress 2025 because it is renowned as a world hub of transportation, showcasing some of the most cutting-edge technology within the Atlanta metro region and throughout the state of Georgia.
From the Hartsfield-Jackson International, the world’s busiest airport, seeing about 286,000 passengers per day, the city investing more than $168 billion in transportation funding into creating safer roads and highways, expanding public transportation access and new projects to support active mobility for pedestrians and biking accessibility, there is much to learn from the host city.
In addition to the city of Atlanta itself, the Georgia Department of Transportation is a leader in advancing safety and sustainability in transportation. Georgia DOT has deployed the largest network of V2X technologies in the US, covering 1,200 signalized intersections and is expanding investments across their interstate system. The city of Peachtree Corners, GA is a living laboratory to test emerging technologies through their Curiosity Lab, a 500-acre technology park with a three-mile roadway showcasing autonomous vehicles, 5G cellular vehicle-to-everything technology, smart streetlights and signals, among other technologies.
“We are looking forward to convening in Atlanta next August and showcasing a region leading in deploying technology to proactively address how we can deliver safer, greener, smarter mobility for all. Attendees will be able to experience numerous tours and demos that will show the best our industry has to offer,” says Jaime McAuley, ITS America Events event director at RX.
Also welcoming ITS leaders to the Atlanta 2025 World Congress will be the Georgia Department of Transportation: “On behalf of the Georgia Department of Transportation, we are excited to welcome ITS World Congress to Atlanta in 2025,” says Russell R. McMurry, PE, commissioner of the Georgia DOT. “We are proud of our work to reduce our carbon footprint and provide more sustainable transportation solutions. We are eager to welcome all the guests who will be attending the World Congress from countries from across the globe. It will allow us to showcase the innovation happening in Georgia while studying new advancements and technologies that can complement our continuous efforts to provide safe, sustainable transportation for all Georgians.”
