JOIN US IN OTTAWA THIS FALL FOR TAC'S 2023 CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION!

Featuring an opening plenary on the theme, Lessons in Leadership

IN TIMES OF RAPID CHANGE, LEADERSHIP AND INNOVATION ARE KEY. How is Canada’s transportation sector responding to transformative challenges in areas like safety and security, mobility, equity, technology and climate change resiliency?

The conference will showcase lessons learned as organizations break new ground as they pursue bold transportation solutions.

With the ITE Canada/CARSP 2023 Joint Conference wrapped up and summer well underway, it is time to recognize those who made this year’s conference a success. Over the course of the conference, we could not help but notice the enthusiasm and innovation displayed by our exhibitors, the generosity of our sponsors, the wisdom of our speakers, and the care and attention of our moderators, tour facilitators, and volunteers.

To all our 450+ attendees, your participation is what brings each ITE Canada conference alive. Your energy, passion, and curiosity were on full display in Winnipeg and instill great confidence that the safety and mobility of people in Canada and abroad are in good hands. We hope Winnipeg played its part as a welcoming host and a great backdrop for your conference experience; we would happily welcome you back to Winnipeg anytime, though we can’t guarantee such tropical weather.

And finally, an enormous thank you goes out to our LAC members and the many representatives and staff of ITE Canada and CARSP. It was truly a pleasure to plan the conference with you over the past two years.

Wishing you all the best until we meet again in Hamilton in 2024,

Rebecca Peterniak and Mark Hearson Conference Co-Chairs
