IOP FALL FORUM 2025
Member Host:
SEPTEMBER 23-25, 2025
NEWLAB DETROIT at Michigan Central
2050 15th St, Detroit, MI 48216

Mobility is the backbone of the global economy and a driving force behind societal progress.
Join IOP members for an engaging discussion on the far-reaching implications of a topic that affects every organization: The Mobility Revolution: Innovations in Moving People, Products and Information.
Discover how transformative technologies and forward-thinking strategies are reshaping the way we move—and what it means for the future of business, logistics and human connection.
As usual, we’ll assemble thought leaders, trendsetters, tech innovators and IOP members to share innovations transforming mobility in real-time - from smart cities and roadways to change accelerated by sustainable power, logistics and robotics. We’ll look at how advanced tech like AI and quantum computing applications will change how we manage supply chains, along with the way critical data connections are creating the new infrastructure of mobility.
This year’s in-person Fall Forum will be held at Newlab at Michigan Central—a hub of innovation and collaboration at the heart of Detroit’s mobility renaissance. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to tour both Newlab and the historic Michigan Central Station, experiencing firsthand the spaces where next-generation mobility technologies are being developed.
In this meeting of minds, we will look at the tensions and synergies resident in building a resilient, responsible and human-centered movement ecosystem. Don’t miss the conversation about how current and future technology changes the future of mobility.
As an IOP member, you’re invited to extend the experience—bring up to five colleagues from your company to join us.
