2026 OPERATIONS REIMAGINED
Simple. Connected. Transformative. Three days in Austin built to move your operation forward.
What Is the Routeware Summit?
The Routeware Summit is our flagship annual user conference — three days that bring together city and public works leaders, private haulers, and Routeware’s own leadership, product, and customer success teams under one roof. It’s part strategic planning session, part product masterclass, and part reunion with the people who understand your day-to-day and are eager to collaborate on making that day run smoother. Guided by this year’s theme, Operations Reimagined, the 2026 program is built around executive keynotes, hands-on product training, and customer-led conversations that turn isolated systems into connected, transformative operations. We know Austin travel is an investment. That’s exactly why we’ve designed a Summit that boasts two full, packed days of programming, direct facetime with the people who build and support your technology, and a level of peer connection you simply can’t replicate over a video call. Attendees consistently tell us the ideas, fixes, and relationships they leave with are worth far more than the trip costs — that’s the bar we hold ourselves to every year

What’s New in 2026 — Built From Your Feedback
You asked, we listened. Here’s what changed based directly on 2025 attendee feedback:
• NEW — Full Day Wednesday. We added a half-day to the schedule to make room for more hands-on sessions.
• NEW — Product Bootcamps. Interactive, product-specific training led by our Product & Implementation teams, run back-to-back so multi-product customers can attend more than one.
• EXPANDED — More breakouts, user groups, and peer sessions to collaborate with fellow customers and Routeware staff.
• EXPANDED — Tracks by fleet type and interest area, so you can go deep on the topics most relevant to your work.
