CONFERENCE THEME
Our Transportation Legacy
As the built environment, shaped by infrastructure decisions, greatly affects how communities decide their lifestyles and transportation choice, work by transportation professionals can determine how a city, a region, and how a community evolves. This theme explores what transportation professionals leave behind for society, especially given Vancouver's unique time in hosting a mega-event in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Topics include, but are not limited to, regional planning, sustainability, policy, impacts of mega-events, public transportation, stakeholder engagement, First Nations community engagement, and context-sensative designs.
SUB-THEMES
Gateway
Legacy also prescribes our place in the world's economy, changes to border security, and hosting mega-events such as the Olympics. This sub-theme allows for attendees to see where their work fits in the "big picture", where a change in paradigm from viewing the world as mere external nodes to considering global dynamics. Topics include, but are not limited to, freight movement, airports, ports, and impact of global dynamics on transportation.Realization
One cannot bring legacy without knowing the various financing concepts to turn visions into reality. This sub-theme intends to give attendees a chance to explore about the financial side that plays an important role in projects and interact with professionals from the financial field. Topics include, but are not limited to, finance models, government relations, public investment strategies, and asset management. INVITATION TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT
