Annual ITSVA Conference - 2007

photo The 13th Annual ITS Virginia Conference and Exhibition was held April 24 - 25, 2007 at the Richmond Marriott. Thanks to the impressive line-up of speakers and exhibitors, this was one of the best attended events in ITS Virginia history. Over 200 ITS Virginia members, non-members and guests attended the two day event. In addition, VDOT Commissioner David Ekern participated in the opening plenary session and Virginia’s Secretary of Transportation, Pierce Homer, was our featured lunch speaker where he outlined the new House Transportation Bill #3202.

We hope that you make plans today to join us next year for the 14th Annual Conference in Virginia Beach, May 13 – 14, 2008!

Most of the 13th Annual Conference presentations are available for downloading. The presentations are in Adobe's PDF format. For assistance with PDF files, please see our Downloads Assistance page.
