I had been told that the conference was smaller than it had been in previous iterations. And that I should try, you know, trans in Berlin instead if I wanted to be, like, really impressed with public transportation conferences. Although generally I found the experience to be pretty pleasant. I I would go back three years from now.

The only recommendation would be regarding segmenting industries on the app to make it easier to find specific vendors.

I felt I got the most out of this APTA Expo than any previous events. The setup and show floor were really great. The learning zone topics offered really good insight into the state of the industry.

Great experience as an exhibitor
What did you like best about the event?
We had a lot of great conversations with several people from different transit agencies from across the US and Canada. The handheld badge scanner is a must!
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
The major exhibitors were consolidated into one area of the expo floor, limiting traffic to some areas. Our booth was right on the edge of where the traffic was less, and we heard from a few displeased vendors that they had half the traffic we had.

It was a pleasant experience but smaller than in other iterations of it.
What did you like best about the event?
Signage was good! I loved all the stuff hanging from the ceiling of the expo hall. A nice man with a cart helped me carry things to set up my booth, which was great.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Booth map was a labyrinth, and there wasn't even David bowie singing anywhere to keep up my spirits.

Great show and location. Easy to get to after-hour events, and the kickoff reception was great. Spent most of my time in the exhibitor hall, which was well attended.
What did you like best about the event?
Attendance was high from attendees and vendors alike. Best showing to a conference post covid.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Coordinate better with local/state conferences. It seems that some agencies didn't attend because other conferences at the state level were happening around the same time, i.e., NYPTA, Midwest, Southwest, etc.

I volunteered as part of the host agency and assisted attendees as they registered and needed help with the shuttle services.
What did you like best about the event?
The various different vendors at the Expo, as well as getting to network and meet new people within the transit field.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
While I did not utilize the shuttle services since I live locally, I do feel the timing of the operation of the shuttles was off--should have been available earlier and later. The midday stoppage was sufficient.
