2016 WSRO fall conference CALL FOR PRESENTERS - Submission Deadline Extended!!! |
Submit your proposal today! Submission deadline Wed., Aug. 31 - Conference is Oct.9-11 in Richland
Hello, fellow transportation enthusiasts! The WSRO board of directors is excited to open this year’s fall conference Call for Presenters. You may now submit your presentation idea(s) for our fall conference to be held at Marriott Courtyard Hotel in Richland, Oct 9-11 this year. We will enjoy a beautiful, peaceful setting on the Columbia River in one of the Tri-Cities’ newer hotels, with direct access to miles of paved trails for walking or bicycling.
The conference is intended to address the interests of a broad spectrum of transportation professionals in the Northwest. Ideally, the 50-minute sessions will provide current, directly applicable strategies for your audiences, which will include transportation demand management specialists, general transportation planners and employee transportation coordinators (ETCs).
The general conference focus will be on active transportation, but not all presentations must necessarily adhere to that theme. We're always looking for presentations on the following topics (but if you can draw on our theme, all the better).
