ITS World Congress has revealed the full programming schedule for the 2025 event, one of the largest gatherings of intelligent transportation system professionals in the world, with more than 800 speakers set to present diverse global perspectives on the future of transport.
This year’s theme, “Deploying today, empowering tomorrow,” highlights the active deployment of technology to enhance road safety, congestion reduction and economic growth and will feature plenaries, special interest sessions, international forums, and product and technology demos.
Registration is now open for the global intelligent transportation systems (ITS) conference and exhibition, hosted in partnership with ITS America and produced by RX, set to take place at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta from August 24-28, 2025.
The congress will showcase a wide array of experts and perspectives from around the globe, offering attendees an unparalleled opportunity to engage with industry leaders and explore cutting-edge industry advancements.
“This year’s program is a testament to the range of global perspectives and breadth of innovation within the ITS community,” said Jaime McAuley, ITS World Congress event director at RX. “We are thrilled to host such a broad spectrum of speakers who will share insights on transformative ITS solutions.”
The programming will kick off at the Opening Ceremony, highlighting how the Atlanta region is investing in and deploying technology to manage increasing growth and deliver safer, more efficient mobility and increased choice to consumers.
The plenary sessions will provide critical insights from global transportation leaders on key issues, including how to create a safer future with connected and automated technologies (sponsored by Arcadis); realizing growth through secure and interoperable ITS (Miovision Technologies); and how to build a more resilient transportation system with AI and emerging technologies (Google).
Other sessions include: addressing emerging vulnerabilities and threats in ITS; AI in action – enhancing public transit and urban infrastructure; World Cup 2026 – shaping the future of transportation and infrastructure in cities; and safeguarding the future – emergency responders and AVs.
“The technologies showcased at ITS World Congress are pivotal in saving lives, strengthening transportation systems, and improving mobility and access,” said Laura Chace, president & CEO of ITS America. “We look forward to welcoming our colleagues from around the world to experience how existing and emerging digital solutions are transforming our infrastructure and broader transportation system.”
Atlanta, a global transportation hub, offers a dynamic backdrop for ITS World Congress 2025, with its world-renowned Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and significant investments in transportation infrastructure. The city, along with the Georgia Department of Transportation, leads in integrating safety technology with the largest V2X deployment on public infrastructure in the US and innovative experiences like Peachtree Corners’ Curiosity Lab, providing a living laboratory for emerging technologies.
