As momentum builds for this major global event, an exceptional number of organisations have taken advantage of the early bird-rates to exhibit at the 33rd ITS World Congress.
According to organiser, ERTICO – ITS Europe and host Transport for West Midlands, a substantial cohort of forward-thinking organisations have already secured their place. With a full 18 months before the event is set to take place, this uptake has occurred well ahead of the first exhibitor early-bird deadline at the end of April.
The event, co-organised by ERTICO with ITS America and ITS Asia-Pacific, will be hosted at Birmingham’s NEC through collaborative efforts involving TfWM, the UK Department for Transport, and ITS UK. This strong international collaboration is expected to significantly enhance both the strategic importance and global reach of the Congress, attracting thousands of participants from across the entire mobility sector.
Jasvinder Sidhu, ERTICO’s Commercial Partnerships and Exhibition lead, noted the “remarkable level of early commitment”, emphasising that exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of the industry not only from the UK but from around the world. “The organisations confirmed to participate encompass original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), national ITS bodies, Tier-1 automotive suppliers, experts in smart infrastructure, system integrators, telecommunications firms, as well as companies specialising in digital and cloud solutions,” she explained. “This diverse array of international participants underscores the event’s far-reaching appeal to key players across the global mobility and transport technology sectors.”
While organisers are not yet releasing individual company names, they say the calibre of organisations already signed up highlights the event’s growing influence and appeal.
“The Congress will offer attendees access to immersive demonstrations of next-generation mobility solutions,” added Jordan Cowley, Business Development Executive at TfWM. “These will include integrated transport ecosystem models, advanced control tower concepts for real-time network management, and data-driven optimisation systems designed to improve efficiency and sustainability. Alongside these showcases, a comprehensive technical programme and a globally recognised exhibition will provide a platform tailored to executives and senior decision-makers shaping the future of transport.”
While the demand is already gaining pace, organisers encourage prospective exhibitors to act swiftly to secure their participation and their preferred spot in the exhibition hall. The super-early-bird rate for stand bookings is only available until 30 April, providing companies an opportunity to engage with the event as early as possible, obtain premium exhibition locations and optimise their return on investment.
This will be the first time in 21 years that the UK has hosted the World Congress, after it was held in London in 2006. The 33rd ITS World Congress takes place at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham from 25 to 29 October 2027 and is expected to welcome up to 15,000 people from around the world.
