The conference features dynamic general sessions, including keynote speakers who will challenge perspectives and spark innovation. There will also be numerous breakout sessions offering attendees valuable insights, fresh ideas, and practical strategies that can be applied within their agencies. As an extra highlight: TxDOT will host its Semiannual Operators’ meeting on Friday, May 1, 2026.

The conference kicks off on Tuesday, April 28, with a relaxing welcome reception. On Thursday, April 30th, CitiBus will host a Big Night Out to remember! For those staying for the Roadeo, you won't want to miss Lubbock’s First Friday Art Trail.
