TransportationCamp DC 2016

The 5th annual TransportationCamp in Washington, DC, is returning Saturday, January 9, 2016. Registration is at transportationcamp2016dc.eventbrite.com (Sorry, but we have sold out).

Looking for the 2017 event? See transportationcamp.org/events/dc-2017/.

TransportationCamp DC is the premier transportation un-conference of the year. Held on the Saturday before the National Academy of Sciences’ Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting, we attract over 400 industry thought leaders, young professionals, and students from around the country. As an unconference, all of the sessions are created by the participants themselves. This format fosters excellent exchange of innovative ideas in a high-energy environment. Be a part of shaping the explosive pace of change in technology, shared use mobility, the integration of transportation and the built environment, and a host of other issues. Bring us your ideas and lead a session!

In addition to a full day of TransportationCamp excitement, your ticket also includes breakfast, lunch, and drinks at the reception afterwards. For $35 it is an amazing deal (limited number of student tickets for $10).

This year our event is pairing up with George Mason University’s Cameron Rian Hays Outside the Box Competition, which will take place at the end of Transportation Camp as an exciting end to the day. Registration for the Outside the Box event is separate. Capacity is more limited, but the event is free, so be sure to sign up. The competition offers over $17,000 in prizes, so submit an entry before the Nov 30 deadline. After the competition we will have a joint reception in Founders Hall, the site of both events.

We encourage everyone to take notes via hackpad; our site is tcamp2016dc.hackpad.com. The Sessions Schedule links to each Hackpad.
