Known as the Motor City and the birthplace of Motown, Detroit is a city built on innovation, resilience, and a legacy of hard work—making it the perfect setting for this annual Workshop to tackle the real-world challenges of keeping our infrastructure safe, efficient, and reliable. From safety and asset management to emergency preparedness, cybersecurity, and beyond, this workshop will feature interactive discussions and problem-solving sessions designed to uncover practical solutions, best practices, and strategies that attendees can take back and implement at their own agencies.
A Technical Tour is being planned for Saturday, July 26, followed by IBTTA Foundation’s Annual Service Project on Sunday, July 27—this is your chance to give back to the local community while connecting with fellow industry professionals before the workshop kicks off. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
