About this event
The 2027 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV 2027) brings the global intelligent transportation community together around one of the most important questions in mobility: how do we build vehicles and systems that are safer, smarter, and more capable in the real world? If you work on autonomous driving, advanced driver assistance, robotics, perception, planning, connectivity, or the future of transportation, this is the kind of event that can sharpen your thinking and expand your network in meaningful ways. Set in Perth, Australia, IV 2027 offers an in-person environment designed for serious technical exchange and practical conversation. It is a place to hear where the field is heading, compare approaches across academia and industry, and spend time with people who are actively shaping the next generation of intelligent vehicles. About the Event The IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium is a well-known gathering point for researchers, engineers, technologists, and mobility leaders working at the intersection of vehicles, automation, sensing, AI, and transportation systems. IV 2027 continues that tradition with an in-person program focused on the ideas, methods, and systems moving the field forward. This is not a general-interest mobility event. It is built for people who want substance: technical discussion, rigorous thinking, and direct access to peers working on similar problems from different angles. Whether your focus is autonomous vehicles, driver assistance, safety validation, machine learning for mobility, or vehicle intelligence at the systems level, the symposium provides a strong environment for focused learning. You can expect a format that supports both formal sessions and the conversations around them. The value of a symposium like this comes not only from the scheduled program, but also from the hallway discussions, impromptu debates, and introductions that often lead to future collaborations, hiring conversations, or research ideas worth pursuing. What to Expect IV 2027 is likely to attract a broad mix of participants across the intelligent vehicles ecosystem, creating a program with depth as well as range. The event is especially relevant if you want exposure to current work in areas such as: Autonomous driving systems Perception, sensing, and sensor fusion Planning, control, and decision-making Human-vehicle interaction and driver assistance Mobility technology and connected transportation Testing, safety, and deployment challenges Because this is an in-person symposium, you should expect more than just back-to-back presentations. Events like this are valuable because they give you time to compare methodologies, ask more pointed questions, and understand where there is real consensus versus where the field is still evolving. You may find yourself moving between technical sessions, research-focused discussions, and broader conversations about how intelligent vehicle systems move from prototype to production or from paper to deployment. That mix is especially useful if your work sits between disciplines or if you need to translate research insight into product, policy, or operational decisions. Just as important, the event creates space for direct interaction. Whether you are reconnecting with long-time collaborators or meeting new people in the autonomous vehicles and mobility tech space, the in-person format makes it easier to build trust and have the kind of nuanced conversations that rarely happen online. Why Attend If you are serious about intelligent vehicles, IV 2027 offers a concentrated way to get current. Instead of following scattered updates across papers, product announcements, and online discussion, you can spend time in one place with a community that is actively testing, building, evaluating, and debating the technologies that matter. The strongest reason to attend is the quality of perspective you can gather in a short period of time. You will have the chance to see how different parts of the ecosystem approach similar problems: academic teams pushing foundational research, engineering groups solving implementation challenges, and mobility professionals thinking about deployment, reliability, and scale. This kind of exposure can help you: Benchmark your work against the broader field Identify emerging technical directions and recurring bottlenecks Learn how others frame safety, performance, and real-world validation Meet collaborators, peers, and potential partners face-to-face Return with sharper questions, clearer priorities, and stronger context There is also a practical career benefit. Attending a respected IEEE symposium signals that you are invested in staying close to the technical frontier, not just the headlines. Whether you are conducting research, building products, evaluating vendors, or planning mobility strategy, the conversations you have here can improve both your immediate work and your long-term thinking. Practical Details Location: In person in Perth, Australia. If you value live discussion, direct networking, and the ability to engage beyond a screen, this format is a major advantage. Date and time: Tuesday, June 15 at 12:00 AM UTC. If you are traveling from another region, it is worth planning ahead for local timing, flights, and accommodation so you can make the most of the on-site experience. Because the event is centered on intelligent vehicles and mobility technology, it is a good fit for attendees who want depth rather than broad startup-event energy. Come prepared to listen closely, ask specific questions, and make room for the conversations between sessions that often become the most valuable part of the day. If this is your field, IV 2027 is a strong place to show up in person. You will leave with a more grounded view of where intelligent vehicles stand now, what challenges remain, and who is doing work worth paying attention to.
Who should attend
If you want to stay close to the technical and strategic center of intelligent vehicles, this event is built for you. - You are a **researcher or academic** working on autonomous driving, robotics, AI for mobility, sensing, planning, control, or transportation systems, and you want to exchange ideas with peers who understand the depth of the work. - You are an **engineer or technical lead** building real-world vehicle intelligence systems and want exposure to current methods, implementation thinking, and the broader direction of the field. - You work in **mobility tech or transportation innovation** and need a clearer view of how intelligent vehicle technologies are evolving across research and deployment. - You are focused on **ADAS, safety, validation, testing, or system performance** and want to hear how others are approaching reliability and real-world complexity. - You are a **product, strategy, or innovation leader** who benefits from understanding the technical foundations behind autonomous vehicles, not just the market narrative. - You are looking for **high-quality in-person networking** with people who are actively shaping autonomous vehicles and intelligent mobility, and you value conversations that go beyond surface-level trends.
