The conference program for IAA MOBILITY 2025 provides a stage for the mobility of tomorrow. From September 9 to 12, over 500 international speakers will share their insights and address key questions about the future of mobility, its progress, and its challenges. Leading global companies are supporting the IAA Conference as partners and sponsors.

With over 200 sessions on five stages, the IAA Conference fosters constructive exchange and debate with more than 500 renowned international speakers. The top-level exchange will also feature CEOs and well-known visionaries discussing the future of mobility.

"We are delighted to bring together the leading players in mobility, sustainability, and tech in Munich for the third consecutive time at IAA MOBILITY," says Jürgen Mindel, VDA Managing Director. "IAA MOBILITY 2025 serves as a global stage that promotes the transfer of knowledge and experience between industry, research, and society – actively shaping the future of mobility."

"Dialogue is a central element of IAA MOBILITY 2025 — bringing together leading minds from politics, business, research, technology, and startups. Public authorities and political representatives can connect directly with companies, discuss regulatory issues, and develop joint solutions at our event," adds Christian Vorländer, Head of Mobility at Messe München.

The IAA Conference program reflects the key themes of IAA MOBILITY 2025. The thematic tracks cover the entire spectrum of mobility, technology, sustainability, and infrastructure. More information on the key themes can be found here: Key Themes 2025 | IAA MOBILITY.

Topics range from Software-Defined Vehicles and Autonomous Driving to the Circular Economy, urban mobility, and charging infrastructure. These will be presented in keynotes, discussions, and fireside chats on five stages — a conference experience for decision-makers. Access is included for all holders of an IAA Summit trade visitor ticket for the Munich exhibition grounds.

Against the backdrop of current economic and geopolitical challenges, the collaboration between industry, politics, and business is more important than ever. This year's focus areas range from Europe's competitiveness and its role as an innovation driver and the transformation of mobility in the context of OEMs and suppliers, to multimodal mobility and new strategic partnerships.
