- “It offers the most practical, engaging, and inspiring content, and is full of kind, passionate humans trying to make cities better.”
“I came away from the conference feeling like I had a renewed sense of purpose in my work.”
“The conference opened my eyes to ideas that I wouldn't have experienced otherwise. Traveling to a new city and meeting professionals from so many states and municipalities allowed me to expand my mind and inspired me.”
“The walking tours were very informative. Having the subject matter experts on hand was useful to answer philosophical and technical questions.”
"You blow other conferences out of the water because you are very careful in creating a program of topical issues and good speakers, plus the benefit of actually getting to see the city the conference is in.”
“[The NACTO conference] improves my commitment to my job and career. The conference shows what is possible to achieve in the face of obstacles. It shows that incremental change is okay and that big change is also possible.”
“The diversity of attendees, including robust representation from early, mid- and senior-career levels, created a vibrant space to forge new connections. It was gratifying to share ideas and encouragement with professionals who are newer to the movement, and the opportunity to speak informally with more seasoned leaders in our field was an invaluable personal growth opportunity.”
