from ten states across the southeast as well. Additionally, a Connected Vehicles panel discussion will
keep the conversation going hot on the heels of ITS World Congress. The
educational and interactive program is filled with informative and insightful presentations by industry leaders
from the public, private, and academic sectors. The expansive Exhibit Hall will showcase the latest and greatest

give attendees a closer look at just how ITS is implemented in the region, and training workshops will be
available to provide participants an opportunity for enhanced learning. To
