The countdown is on for UITP Summit 2027, the International Association of Public Transport' Summit,, staged in Hamburg, Germany from 14 June 2027 to 17 June 2027 and set to gather the sector under one roof. Year after year it draws the people shaping the field, turning a packed schedule into a genuine exchange of ideas. This biennial gathering builds on each previous edition. Expect to join around 10000 attendees over the course of the event. Doors open at Hamburg Messe, a space designed to keep large gatherings flowing smoothly.

There is a reason UITP Summit 2027 calls Hamburg home. The city offers the connectivity, venues and atmosphere that an event of this stature needs. Getting to Hamburg is simple thanks to its airport links and well-developed local transport network. Accommodation ranges from business hotels near the venue to characterful stays in the centre, suiting every budget.

Programming centres on Public Transport, Public Transport Systems, Public Transport Technology and Transportation, with sessions designed to surface fresh ideas and real-world insights. Roundtables, masterclasses and Q&A sessions round out the experience. Browse stands from 400+ exhibitors, each offering a hands-on look at their latest work. The 30,000 m² footprint means comfortable aisles, proper meeting space and stands that have room to make an impression. International Association of Public Transport, the team behind the event, keeps every element running to a high standard.

The ideas you pick up and the people you meet tend to outlast the event by a long way. For established names and rising talent who like to stay a step ahead, UITP Summit 2027 is time well spent.

A little planning goes a long way here: map out the sessions or stands you cannot miss before you arrive.
