Event
ITS America Innovation Forum 2026
A one-day ITS America forum in Washington, DC on where transportation technology is heading next.
ITS America hosts a one-day Innovation Forum on September 30 at K&L Gates in Washington, DC. The 2026 edition frames its discussion around emerging technology in transportation, from quantum breakthroughs to the convergence of the digital and physical worlds.
Why it matters for the data layer
This is a small, senior gathering rather than a conference, which is the point. It pulls ITS America’s private-sector, agency, and academic members into one room in DC for a day of strategy talk about where transportation technology is heading. The framing is deliberately forward-looking.
For readers on the data layer, treat it as a signal event: a short read on the themes ITS America wants its policy and vendor community focused on next, close to the federal decision-makers who set the funding and regulatory agenda. It is a preview-and-recap item, not a multi-day beat.
