"UITP maintains a strong and longstanding relationship with our 2026 host, RTA Dubai, which invested tremendous energy, effort and enthusiasm into preparing the Summit. We sincerely thank them for their understanding, continued support and the considerable work undertaken in preparation for what would have been an outstanding event."
"As an organisation that always puts People First, the safety and wellbeing of our delegates, partners and colleagues is our main responsibility. With many national authorities recommending avoiding non-essential travel to the region, the decision to cancel the 2026 edition was taken after careful consideration by UITP's Executive Board."
The International Association of Public Transport announced the cancellation of its 2026 Summit, originally scheduled for Dubai from April 21-23. The decision followed careful assessment of the evolving situation in the Gulf region and its impact on international travel. UITP's Executive Board prioritized delegate, partner, and colleague safety and wellbeing, citing recommendations from national authorities against non-essential travel to the region. The organization expressed gratitude to RTA Dubai for their preparation efforts and support. The next UITP Summit will be held in Hamburg in 2027.
