Future Transport Careers on Show at ITS Australia Global Summit

MEDIA RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Melbourne, Australia – 25 August 2026: Students interested in shaping the future of transport are invited to attend the ITS Australia Global Summit Careers Expo, sponsored by Transurban, on 24 September 2026 between 10.30am-1.30pm at Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Held on the final day of the ITS Australia Global Summit, the Careers Expo will connect students with leading transport technology organisations, industry experts and potential employers working across engineering, data, software, infrastructure, mobility and intelligent transport systems.

Designed for students studying in a wide variety of engineering fields, the Careers Expo provides valuable insights into career pathways and emerging industry trends and opportunities.

Unlike a traditional careers fair, attendees will move through dedicated networking stops across the exhibition hall, providing opportunities to engage directly with multiple organisations and industry professionals. 

Susan Harris, Chief Executive Officer, ITS Australia, said the Careers Expo offers students a unique opportunity to connect with the people and technologies driving the future of transport.

“We’re genuinely dedicated to helping build the next generation of transport technology professionals.” Said Ms Harris. “The Careers Expo brings students face-to-face with industry leaders, innovators and future employers. It offers a unique opportunity to explore career pathways, build professional networks and gain valuable insights into one of Australia’s fastest-evolving sectors.”

Anita, General Manager of Customer Systems & Transport Technology at Transurban, highlights the vital role students play in the future of transport. "The future of mobility is being shaped right now, and students are at the heart of that transformation.” Said Ms Matuszewski. “Whether your passion is software development, data science, engineering, or smart city planning, transport technology offers incredible pathways to make a real-world impact.

The Careers Expo is a fantastic opportunity to connect directly with industry professionals, discover where your skills can take you, and explore how you can help build smarter, safer roads."

Recognising that students often attend with friends and classmates, ITS Australia has introduced a $30 ticket for two attendees including morning tea and networking lunch, making the event both accessible and affordable.

Students interested in transport, mobility, technology and innovation are encouraged to secure their place today: https://itsaustralia-its-global-summit-2026.eventsairsite.com/its-careers-expo
