Curbivore is an annual industry conference held in Los Angeles, California, that focuses on urban infrastructure, mobility, and the "curb economy." The event serves as a forum for policymakers, technologists, and urban planners to discuss the management of curbside space, last-mile logistics, and the integration of delivery automation in urban environments.

History

The conference was established to address structural changes in urban mobility and commerce, specifically the growth of app-based delivery and micromobility adoption. The event is a gathering for stakeholders from the transportation, logistics, and technology sectors to discuss evolving uses of public rights-of-way.[1][2]

Format and programming

Curbivore typically takes place over two days in Downtown Los Angeles. The programming includes keynote presentations, panel discussions, and technology demonstrations.

The central premise of the conference is that the "curb" has become a high-value category of urban real estate, driven by the surge in delivery, pickup, and outdoor dining. The event seeks to facilitate dialogue between technology companies, business owners, and government officials to repurpose traditional parking infrastructure into "streateries," micro-fulfillment centers, or dedicated pickup zones.

Topics covered during the summit include:
