Florida Automated Vehicles Summit 2026 starts on November 11, 2026.

The summit is held at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando, Florida.

The organizer identifies industry leaders, policymakers, engineers, innovators, and students as audience groups.

It is most useful for transportation agency staff, infrastructure consultants and mobility companies who want to meet public and private decision-makers in one room, since speakers come from Waymo, Uber, Florida DOT, Cavnue, Parsons, HNTB and several Florida airports and universities. Engineers looking for deep technical sessions on autonomy stacks would likely get less from it, because the speaker mix leans toward policy, infrastructure and deployment, and students will find it more useful for contacts than for coursework.

Attendees at transportation and policy summits usually wear business casual, such as collared shirts, slacks and blazers, with suits mainly for agency and executive speakers. A resort setting in Orlando in November is warm, so light fabrics help.
