WELCOME to On behalf of the Local Arrangements Committee and the Northern Alberta Section, we are excited to welcome you here.

As we raced towards the finish line of hosting this conference, we became increasingly impressed by the quality of the program, technical tours, and keynote speakers assembled for the event. We have structured our program around fostering community. Our hope is to share the great work that our community of transportation professionals in Edmonton and around the country are doing to shape and transform their communities.

You will also find plenty of opportunities to connect with your colleagues, explore Edmonton, and get outside. Our collaboration with the Conference Board of Canada will give you a chance to stretch your imagination as we grapple with how our communities might be transformed by changing technology. We encourage you to walk through Fort Edmonton Park during our banquet and ponder how much our profession has impacted our cities to date and how it might change our future.

We hope to leave you connected, challenged, and inspired.

The exciting technical program features plenary sessions and abstract-driven sessions that present the latest information on a wide range of transportation research.

Complementing the presentations, unique technical tours are designed to stimulate discussions and enhance your experience.

WELCOME

It is a great pleasure to welcome you here in Edmonton to participate in the 2018 CITE Conference and Annual Meeting.

The social program includes many opportunities for you to experience the best that the City of Edmonton has to offer. Take the time to explore our fine host city and the many fabulous shopping and dining experiences around the corner from the conference.

BioWare grew to seven studios across the globe before Greg and his business partner Ray Muzyka departed the company in 2012.

After BioWare, Greg started a YouTube channel called The Beer Diaries focused on craft beer. This led to a desire to start a brewery in his hometown of Edmonton.

Greg now operates his companies while focusing on contributing to the community via hosting charitable events and participating in local festivals and fundraising efforts.
