Two Weeks Until #ITSAM21 in Charlotte!
At long last, the ITS America 2021 Annual Meeting in Charlotte is just 15 days away! It has been more than two years since the ITS community has gathered in the United States, and we are thrilled to convene our colleagues after two years of mostly virtual gatherings.
If you have not registered, it is just a click away! Some of what we are most excited about:
- Keynote presentations focusing on safety, equity, and a more sustainable transportation system;
- More than 60 in-person and virtual sessions exploring topics such as connected and automated technologies, equity and accessibility, innovative uses of big data, pandemic impact on transportation, supply chain and logistics, and security;
- ITS World Congress 2022 celebration at the Nascar Hall of Fame;
- MobilityXX breakfast session;
- Annual awards showcase, including the new “Best of MOD” award; and
- The Exhibit Hall!
