Powerful Program at IBTTA's 2014 Annual Meeting September 14-17
Texas Governor Rick Perry and Doug Stephens, one of the world's foremost retail and consumer futurists, head up an extraordinary conference program at IBTTA's 82nd Annual Meeting & Exhibition, September 14-17 in Austin, Texas. Gov. Perry presides over a state that has seen rapid adoption of some of the world's most innovative transportation solutions. Under his leadership, Texas has consistently been ranked as one of America's best places for economic development and expansion. Stephens' thinking and analysis have influenced some of the world's top brands, including Target, Home Depot, Crayola and Citibank. And there's much more on the program, beginning with a fast-paced panel on the toll industry laboratory that has taken shape in America's fastest-growing state: From managed lanes, to public-private partnerships, to innovative financing, to regional mobility authorities, Texas is trying it all, doing it all and breaking new ground for other jurisdictions.
