CITE announces Virtual Annual Conference CITE invites transportation professionals, educators, and students from across Canada and beyond to our Virtual Annual Conference, happening June 8–10, 2021. The last six months have been filled with unprecedented change across Canada and around the world. While many of us have faced social and economic challenges, the common impacts of COVID-19 and our shared experiences adapting to new realities have, in many ways, brought our professional community closer than ever before. We know that now, more than ever, it’s important to make time to connect with each other, share stories, and grow our profession and its knowledge base. With this in mind, CITE has begun planning our first ever Virtual Conference and aims to deliver an exciting, informative, and engaging program. An experienced “National” Arrangements Committee has been assembled to plan and deliver this unique event: f Conference f District
Liaison: Julia Salvini, CITE President & Salvini Consulting (Kitchener, ON)
f Technical f Industry f CITE
Chair: James Donnelly, Urban Systems (Kelowna, BC)
Program: Jeanette Montufar, MORR Transportation (Winnipeg, MB)
Partners: Terezinha Hignett, Transoft Solutions (Waterloo, ON)
Support: Steven Garner (Cowichan Bay, BC) & Evonne Donaher (St. John’s, NL)
While we’ll certainly miss many of the in-person events and CITE traditions enjoyed by all, we hope that a virtual event will offer new opportunities to connect in unique ways. If you have any innovative ideas in this regard, we would be pleased to hear from you at conference@cite7.org. For now, please save the dates (June 8, 9, and 10, 2021), submit an abstract to share your work and ideas at the conference, and keep an eye out for more information, updates, and announcements to come on the website, email, and social media #CITEconf.
