The 2026 PIPTA Conference and Expo will be held in Spokane, Washington Tuesday, October 20 through Thursday, October 22, 2026.

Describing good financial acumen
Exploring alternative transportation modes
Sharing implementation successes and failures
Identifying innovative technologies and their use cases
Offering personal development to attendees

Traditional presentations are welcome; however we also encourage submittals for interactive presentations that promote participation such as panel and roundtable discussions. This could also include live polling, small group breakouts, etc.
These sessions should focus on education and development and should not be used to promote products or services. Exhibit space and sponsorships are available for promotional activity. If you are a supplier of products or services, please be sure your session content is not based on your products, services, or proprietary information.
Proposals will be evaluated using the following criteria:
