Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and our prioritization of the health and safety of our global community of ITS professionals, the ITS World Congress 2020 scheduled for October 4-8 in Los Angeles will not take place as an in-person event.

While we can’t meet face to face in 2020, we are excited to launch a dynamic virtual event series for the ITS World Congress community. “ITS World Congress ALL ACCESS,” a digital event series coming this Fall, will be an immersive experience of education sessions, discussion groups, recommended content, solutions and case-studies, a knowledge and resources center, and other online opportunities to connect our global community of intelligent transportation leaders and influencers. We are committed to ensuring that our global community is able to convene virtually to connect, discuss the latest trends in the industry and be at the forefront of recovery and innovation. More details to follow in the next few weeks.

For the past 27 years, transportation and technology professionals from public agencies, private companies and academia from around the world have gathered in leading cities to discuss and share how technology is being used to improve transportation in their home countries. These challenging times have made clear that technology is even more critical as we contemplate the post-pandemic world.

As we look towards 2021, we are pleased to announce today that the ITS America 2021 Annual Meeting will take place in Atlanta, Georgia May 17-20, at the Georgia World Congress Center. We look forward to welcoming the entire intelligent transportation community to ITS America 2021 in downtown Atlanta next year.

“We are disappointed not to gather in person, but the spirit of innovation to solve transportation challenges is more important than ever right now. Join us for a virtual engagement to learn from leaders around the world on how different countries are using technology to solve challenges during this difficult time,” said Shailen Bhatt, President & CEO, ITS America.

“While the circumstances this year are unique and challenging for everyone running organized events, we are enthusiastic about the opportunities to engage digitally to provide strong education and training, to connect global ITS professionals for discussions and meet ups, and to chart the course for 2021 events to be conducted in a safe and healthy environment. Together the industry will create momentum for the new era of mobility and transportation technology,” said Will Wise, Group Vice President, Reed Exhibitions.

Let’s Transform the Future Together.

Technology evolves faster than we can imagine the future. Rapidly evolving transportation innovations are being developed and deployed that promise to entirely reshape the way our transportation network operates, facilitating vast improvements to transportation safety and overall mobility. The promise of these innovations is apparent, but the deployment and application of these technologies is not without challenges. While technology disrupts the transportation ecosystem with new innovations and ideas, government, communities, private companies, and researchers must race to catch up to and contend with ideas never thought possible. How do we accelerate change and safely embrace new technology while promoting collaboration across industry to advance shared societal goals? Through nonprofits like the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America).

ITS America and its members have been at the center of these innovations, advocating for transformational technology to save lives, promote sustainability, and improve access to mobility.

Join us.

As advocates for transportation innovation throughout the world’s largest transportation network, ITS America’s public, private and academic members are dedicated to championing smart mobility strategies to ensure safe and thriving communities.
