Istanbul – the city on two continents – will be hosting the IRF World Congress on 15-18 October 2024 at the Istanbul Congress Center. Held every four years, the IRF World Congress has represented – for almost seven decades – an opportunity to celebrate the road and mobility sectors as enablers of growth and development.

Embracing the theme “Connecting to Empower Mobility: Roads as Enablers of a Sustainable Future for All”, the congress will serve as a platform for global leaders, industry experts, academia, and diverse public and private stakeholders to engage in insightful discussions and collaborative efforts, addressing pivotal issues and exploring innovations within the road and mobility sectors.

Message from IRF president: “Our chosen theme underscores our commitment to shaping a future where roads serve as pathways to empower mobility in all its forms, connecting communities and fostering sustainable development on a global scale. Whether it is by foot, bicycle, public transport, or motor vehicle, in urban or rural areas, our vision is to create a transportation system that unites, empowers, and provides access to opportunities for all.
