5 Reasons You Should Attend CONNECT2022

After an unprecedented two years, in many cities, public transit looks a little different in this post-COVID world. Ridership demographics have changed dramatically, and the safety and satisfaction of riders have become more important than ever. We’ve all innovated and persevered to continue bringing an essential service to those who rely on it. And that work is only just beginning. Fortunately, you have a community of industry leaders and experts in your corner.

Starting on September 12, leaders and representatives from transit agencies across North America will gather in Austin, Texas for CONNECT2022. Together, we’ll share best practices, discuss success stories, and take a deep dive into the technology that will enable all agencies – including yours – to meet the ever-evolving needs of their customers.

If you haven’t yet booked your tickets or are still on the fence about attending, here are some key reasons why you should join us.

Real, Actionable Insight from Transit Professionals Like You

Purchasing, deploying, and maintaining transit technology requires significant time, resources, and funds. That’s why we’ve dedicated each morning at CONNECT to learning directly from industry leaders like yourself on the most important topics facing transportation today.

This won’t be an abstract discussion; instead, real transit professionals will share first-hand insight into how they overcame challenges, minimized disruption, implemented technology, and ensured rider satisfaction. They’ll provide step-by-step best practices that you can begin implementing as soon as you return from your trip.

Here are just a Peer Spotlight sessions you can expect to see at CONNECT2022:

• How Real-Time Reporting can impact how your agency reacts and your rider’s perception
• Is your agency prepared for a cyber-attack? You may not be as prepared as you think
• What to Expect When Deploying an Electric Fleet
• How Disruption Management can enhance your customer’s experience and simplify your back-office operations
• The Value of Onboard Signage Solutions on Rider Satisfaction and Retention
• The Benefits of Yard Management to Your Overall Operations
• Save Millions with Celrado VoIP without Losing Any Communications Functionality

Amazing Networking Opportunities

You’re definitely going to want to keep your contact list open throughout the conference, as you’ll have plenty of opportunities to speak with – and learn from – your peers. These are people who have been in your shoes, thoroughly understand the industry, and can be a resource to you well after the conference is over. And while social media networking is nice, it doesn’t hold a candle to the power of face-to-face networking. In fact, 85% of people say that in-person conferences lead to more robust, more meaningful business relationships.

And you’ll have plenty of opportunities to catch up with colleagues both new and old alike at our nightly networking and social events. We’re planning some unique and exciting experiences for you to make CONNECT2022 an event to remember!
