Related Professionals:

In January this year, we hosted a very successful summit, 2015 Year of Transportation – Impact on the Economy and Quality of Life. As a reminder, here is the 2015 January event program and presentation materials.

Throughout 2015, the role transportation and infrastructure play in the global economy has been debated in many forums, including the halls of Congress. We will build on these discussions during our next annual gathering in Washington DC.

For 2016, we shift into a higher gear and have partnered with the Meridian International Center as co-hosts of The Accelerating New Global Economy – Transportation, Trade & Security. We would be delighted if you could join us, senior administration officials and a broad range of thought leaders and business visionaries immediately following the Transportation Research Board's 95th Annual Meeting in Washington DC, for what we promise to be exciting, innovative and forward-looking discussions.
