A lot has changed in the mobility industry and mobility conference space since SUMC launched our annual National Shared Mobility Summit. That’s why we’re reimagining our annual Summit–to ensure our events and convenings are as valuable as the first time we brought the sector together. This involves surveying our community to gather insights on the current value, missing elements, and pain points of large events. We appreciate you taking this five-minute survey so we can understand the value that current conferences bring you and the biggest barriers you face. Your feedback will help inform future SUMC convenings. Take the survey: https://ow.ly/Gly250RezO4

Before heading to any conference, it’s worth taking time to prepare to make the most of the experience. I’m going to the GOTO Conferences in Copenhagen next week and, as part of my preparation, I need to figure out which talks to see. That led me to write an article where I share some useful tips to help you make the most of your conference experience! #softwareengineering #GOTOcph

** Throwback Thursday ** Let's take a look at our many conferences over the years. We organized one in 2018 and six in 2022 - thanks to the support of our members and growing CAASA team! Today we look at the in-person version of the CAASA Alternative Perspectives conference, held in Vancouver, BC. What a rush to get back to BC for an event (Paul and I are from there) and it was perfect weather for the event. We continued to innovate, creating the Start-up Round-up where 11 of our Start-up Founder members met with 2 of the 11 angels and VCs taking part in this session - some coming from as far away as the UAE, the Bahamas, and NYC! They had 2x30-mins pitch sessions and it was actually a chore to move them to the next pairing after half an hour - they were all quite interested in speaking longer. Of course the weather was perfect in YVR…something that every Vancouverite knows is a black swan and a way to convince tourists that they need to return ASAP. That said, we look to return in 2023. You can view the program here: https://lnkd.in/gMrCQh-U All of our publications are available here: https://lnkd.in/gTwUCzPP We would like to note that at all of our conferences we strive for a 40% investors, 40% managers, and 20% service provider attendee break-down and have achieved this in virtually all cases. This, we believe, is a golden ratio that provides value to all attendees. We also like to keep our conferences smaller (200-250 max) and would only increase delegate maximums if we have the requisite (40%+) block of investors already registered. We're in this for the long-haul and for member value!

I am beyond grateful to have had the incredible opportunity to attend the highly anticipated 2024 NABA Conference in the vibrant city of Las Vegas! Here are a few highlights that made this experience truly unforgettable: 1. Empowering Connections: The NABA Conference was a melting pot of talented professionals from diverse backgrounds and industries.

These connections have expanded my professional network and given rise to potential collaborations and partnerships that I am genuinely excited about. 2.

The sessions were thought-provoking, covering a wide range of topics shaping our industries' future. The knowledge and inspiration I gained were immeasurable, providing me with a fresh perspective and fueling my drive to excel in my field. 3. Transformative Learning Experiences: The conference offered many workshops, interactive sessions, and panel discussions that delved deep into the challenges and opportunities facing professionals today.

** Throwback Thursday ** Let's take a look at our many conferences over the years. We organized one in 2018 and six in 2022 - thanks to the support of our members and growing CAASA team! Today we look at our first in-person conference in a long time: our Family Office Summit 2022. We noticed that family offices were happy to travel, for the most part, but some were still a little skittish if they would have to test negative before returning to the States, for example. It was all hugs and giggles at the conference where we managed to have 35% investors, 60% managers, and 5% service providers - we also noted that service providers were not flying or going to conferences in a big way, but managers were happy to get on a plane. Those who did were richly rewarded!
