Be Seen...And Heard - 2012 Call for Presentations | |
 The 2012 International Parking Institute Conference & Expo will take place June 10-13, 2012, in Phoenix, Ariz., and is the world's premier event celebrating parking. This number-one event in the parking industry will be bigger, better and even more successful than ever - but we need you!
IPI is currently accepting presentation proposals for the 2012 IPI Conference & Expo. Experienced and articulate individuals willing to share their expertise and real world practices are invited to submit presentation proposals. IPI is looking for presentations that illustrate case studies, share best practices, illuminate important issues, bring "how-to" knowledge, identify trends, and increase the skill level of parking professionals. The IPI Program Committee will then hand-pick the most engaging, knowledgeable, and inspirational presentations and speakers.
Proposal presentations are due October 1, 2011, and selected presenters at the 2012 IPI Conference & Expo are entitled to a 25 percent discount off full conference or daily registrations.
