We're excited to head to Nashville, Tennessee, for the 2027 Designing Cities Conference!

The annual NACTO Designing Cities Conference brings together over 1,000 people passionate about advancing the state of transportation in North American cities—engineers, planners, government agency leaders, elected officials, advocates, and other transportation professionals of all career levels.

We're looking forward to convening the NACTO movement in Nashville from May 11 to 14, 2027. 

Check back here in fall 2026 for details on registration dates, ticket prices, and more, or sign up for NACTO's newsletter to get updates directly in your inbox.

The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) is an association of more than 100 North American cities and transit agencies that exchange transportation ideas, insights, and practices and cooperatively approach national transportation issues. The organization champions bold, people-first urban transportation by mobilizing a network of cities and transit agencies.

The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) builds and manages the transportation network in Nashville, Tennessee, and Davidson County. Their work includes building and maintaining sidewalks, bike lanes, multiuse paths, and roads; managing traffic signs, markings, and signals; parking enforcement; and overseeing the City's Vision Zero initiative.
