Welcome from our Local Arrangements Committee!
Thank you to all who attended and participated in the 2026 ITE Northeastern District Meeting in Newport.
We are excited to welcome our ITE colleagues, vendors, and transportation professionals to Hartford, CT in 2027!
Our team is putting together a 3-day event that is not only thought provoking, but a fun way to connect with professionals in the industry.
The ITE District Meeting is our annual flagship meeting that brings together transportation professionals from the northeastern United States. The meeting offers a platform to share knowledge, gain insights, and build relationships with peers and colleagues in the field. It's a great opportunity to learn about the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in transportation engineering, planning, and operations.
More information to come!
Sincerely,
Your Local Arrangements Committee
