2026 AASHTO Annual Meeting
AASHTO's yearly membership meeting, November 15-18 at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville.
AASHTO holds its annual membership meeting November 15-18 in Louisville, with most sessions at the Kentucky International Convention Center and the Wednesday sessions at the Louisville Marriott Downtown. The program covers industry policy discussion, officer business and the America’s Transportation Awards presentation. Registration opened at the end of July 2026.
Why it matters for the data layer
Think of it as the policy weather report for state DOTs. Reauthorization posture, federal data reporting expectations and AASHTO’s technical service programs get framed in this room first, and only later filter down into state specifications that vendors and agency staff have to build against.
The attendance list is the reason. State DOT chief executives and senior leadership, USDOT officials, AASHTO committee chairs and associate member vendors. If a reporting requirement or a data program is about to change shape, the framing shows up here before the paperwork does.
