IT-TRANS

IT-TRANS, the international congress and exhibition for digital mobility, returns to the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre in Germany from 1 to 2 February 2028. Organised by Messe Karlsruhe, the event brings together transport operators, technology innovators and industry experts from around the world to explore the digital transformation of urban and public transport.

Now firmly established as a leading forum for the public transport sector, IT-TRANS offers attendees the opportunity to engage with both a congress programme and a dedicated exhibition floor. The congress features international speakers and presentations covering the most pressing challenges and opportunities in digital mobility, while the exhibition showcases innovative products and services from companies across more than 30 countries. Around 4,000 guests from all seven continents are expected to attend the 2028 edition.

Key themes at IT-TRANS 2028 include artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital ticketing, payment systems and data standards. These topics sit at the heart of the event’s focus on making public transport more efficient, resource-friendly and attractive for passengers. Alongside the main congress and exhibition, Market Update Forums and side events provide additional opportunities for networking and knowledge exchange with leading decision-makers from across the sector.

Karlsruhe itself provides an appropriate backdrop for the event, given the city’s reputation as a hub for mobility innovation. The region brings together partners from industry, research and the public sector, and has pioneered sustainable transport solutions including the internationally recognised tram-train system. This ecosystem of expertise makes it a fitting host for a congress dedicated to shaping the future of intelligent passenger transport.

Companies wishing to exhibit at IT-TRANS 2028 are encouraged to secure booth space in advance. The event also incorporates the Future Mobility Award, a competition that recognises innovative and sustainable mobility solutions and provides a platform for start-ups to present their ideas to a wider audience of industry professionals and decision-makers.

IT-TRANS 2028 takes place on 1 and 2 February 2028 at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre, Messeallee 1, 76287 Rheinstetten, Germany. For further information on attending, speaking or exhibiting, visit the IT-TRANS website.
