Forth Roadmap Conference 2026
September 13 - September 15
The Forth Roadmap Conference 2026 will take place September 13–15, 2026, at the Seattle Convention Center – Summit in Seattle, Washington, bringing together policymakers, utilities, automakers, charging providers, transportation professionals and industry innovators to advance electric transportation.
Organized by Forth, the conference is designed to examine the technologies, policies, infrastructure and business strategies shaping the future of electric mobility.
The 2026 program features two full days of conference programming, an exhibit hall, networking opportunities and partner events. Discussions will focus on the rapid electrification of cars, trucks, buses and other vehicles, as well as shared mobility, autonomous transportation and micromobility.
Charging infrastructure is another major focus, with sessions examining how charging deployment can become faster, more accessible and better integrated with the electrical grid.
The conference will also explore equitable access to electric transportation, community engagement, public policy, utility programs and strategies for expanding EV adoption among communities that have historically faced barriers to clean transportation.
Medium- and heavy-duty vehicle electrification will receive significant attention, including zero-emission trucks and buses, fleet deployment, charging infrastructure, ports and transportation programs.
Additional topics include EV battery manufacturing, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, vehicle-to-everything connectivity, consumer education, EV affordability, carsharing, micromobility and the development of resilient zero-emission transit systems.
The program will bring together leaders from government, industry, utilities, transportation agencies, technology companies and community organizations to discuss practical approaches for accelerating the transition to electric transportation.
A pre-conference “Ride the ZEVergreen Current” tour will take place on September 13, offering participants an opportunity to visit transportation electrification projects in Washington state, including an electric bus depot, zero-emission trucks, battery-electric bus rapid transit infrastructure and EV charging technology.
The main conference will take place September 14–15 at the Seattle Convention Center – Summit in downtown Seattle.
