Karlsruhe, the focal point for digital mobility solutions: success story goes on

For more than 15 years, Karlsruhe has been the place to be for the leading event on intelligent solutions in public passenger transport – and will remain so after IT-TRANS 2024.

However, 2024 marks the last edition of the event co-organised by Messe Karlsruhe and the International Association of Public Transport (UITP). Starting from 2025, UITP will focus on a yearly conference and exhibition, therefore making the Global Public Transport Summit an annual event, with one year in Europe and the other in another part of the world. Messe Karlsruhe will continue to hold a focal event on digital solutions in public and private transport in Karlsruhe: Thus, the city will remain the central hub for addressing and developing digital solutions in the mobility sector and turning them into reality.

Both Messe Karlsruhe and UITP are immensely proud of the eight successful editions of IT-TRANS organised since 2008, becoming the leading international conference and exhibition focusing on digitalisation and IT solutions for public transport. With the 2024 edition just eight months away, building on the past successes and making next year’s IT-TRANS even better is the priority for both organisations. In parallel, the partners are also discussing how cooperation could look like after the 2024 edition.

For the 9th edition in 2024, which will take place from May 14 to 16, UITP and Messe Karlsruhe predict the best edition ever and are thrilled with the significant progress already made. Stands are in high demand in hall 1 and the dm-arena, also attracting many new exhibitors.

More information on IT-TRANS 2024 will be shared by both UITP and Messe Karlsruhe in due course.
