The ITS World Congress is the global flagship gathering for intelligent transportation
systems. The 2026 edition, the 32nd, runs October 19-23 in Gangneung, South Korea, under
the theme "Beyond Mobility, Connected World." It is co-organized by ERTICO - ITS Europe,
ITS Asia-Pacific, and ITS America, rotating to the Asia-Pacific region for the year.

## Why it matters for the data layer

This is a non-US event, so for most of the ITS Feed audience it is a remote-coverage item
rather than a trip. It still sets the international agenda for the field the site tracks:
connected and automated driving, smart infrastructure, mobility services, and the data
governance underneath them.

The program leans toward the vehicle and infrastructure side of ITS, so the data-layer
signal is in the sessions on interoperability, standards, and AI systems. Watch what comes
out of Gangneung for where the global standards conversation is heading, then map it back
to what US agencies actually deploy.
