Great Scott! This is your chance to shape the future of transportation!

Fire up your DeLorean and set the date for the most electrifying transportation event in Arizona! We're looking for brilliant minds—just like yours—to jump into the flux capacitor and join us as a speaker at the 2025 Arizona Transportation Conference.

With approximately 1,600 attendees and 140 exhibitors from both the public and private sectors, this event is where engineers and contractors from all timelines come together to innovate, collaborate, and accelerate.

Don't be a slacker—we want YOUR presentation in the mix as we race toward the future of transportation infrastructure!

From small-town municipalities to county agencies, tribal nations, consultants, universities, and large firms—this conference brings together leaders from every corner of the map (and maybe even a few from the past or future).All attendees will earn professional development hours, so it’s not just about changing the world—it’s about leveling up too.

So what are you waiting for? Roads? Where we’re going… we still need them—but they’re going to be better, smarter, and built with your insight.
