This year's PATH symposium brings together a diverse and inspiring array of voices from around the world who are committed to promoting walking and cycling as ways to create healthy and sustainable communities. Whether you are a policymaker, practitioner, advocate, or partner, the symposium provides a valuable platform for connecting with peers, sharing insights, and gaining inspiration from innovative approaches to advancing walking and cycling globally. Together, participants will explore how these active mobility solutions can help build healthier, safer, and more inclusive communities for everyone.

The 9th edition of this annual flagship event on transport and climate takes place online from 5 to 9 October 2026, under the theme "Global Alliances and Opportunities for Decarbonising Transport." Over its past editions, the week has brought together more than 2,000 participants, experts, and decision-makers from over 100 countries to exchange ideas, build capacity, and develop solutions for a net-zero transport future. The 2026 programme also features a digital art exhibition open to photographers, filmmakers, poets, and makers worldwide, with submissions accepted until 18 September. Stay informed via their newsletter.

This in-person training programme explores how automated and connected vehicles, buses, shuttles, and taxis can be integrated into public transport networks to create safer, greener, and more livable cities. Rather than assuming automation is inherently beneficial, the course examines the critical role of design, operation, and regulation in determining whether driverless vehicles help reduce congestion and reclaim urban space, or instead worsen sprawl and car dependency. Drawing on real-world lessons from mobility service providers currently operating automated fleets, participants will hear directly from practitioners, technologists, and policy experts shaping the future of driverless mobility. The programme combines operational case studies, technology and regulatory insights, and peer discussion to help attendees understand how automated vehicles, especially when paired with shared mobility models, can strengthen rather than compete with public transport systems.

ITF Secretary-General Young Tae Kim addresses the inaugural session of the FIATA World Congress. This year’s Congress marks its 100th anniversary and is centered on the theme “Empowering Global Logistics.” It represents one of the most significant gatherings of global logistics stakeholders. The 2026 FIATA Congress will serve as an important platform for senior leaders to reflect on a century of progress and to help shape the future of resilient, efficient, and sustainable global supply chains.

The 2026 International Conference on Sustainable Mobility and Climate (CIMDC 2026), will take place from 19–22 October 2026 at the Sofitel Abidjan Hôtel Ivoire in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, under the auspices of the country's Ministry of Transport. The conference aims to convene public and non-state actors from Africa and around the world to share innovative solutions and strengthen cooperation in support of mobility that is sustainable, inclusive, and climate-friendly.

The first-ever Global Convening on Informal and Shared Mobility takes place from 26 to 28 October 2026 at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. GloCon brings together 400+ researchers, public officials, practitioners, workers, and operators to build interdisciplinary understanding of informal and shared mobility systems, with a particular focus on knowledge from and for the Global South. From matatus to tuk-tuks to jeepneys, these services are the main mode of travel for hundreds of millions of people and are critical to achieving the SDGs and decarbonizing transport. The convening centres the people who run and depend on these systems as active partners in shaping fair, inclusive, and people-centred mobility futures. Registration is open.
