2012 Specialized Transportation Symposium

Early Bird
1/27/12

The 25^th Anniversary Specialized Transportation Symposium will prove to be a major success.  This year’s program and outstanding speakers have caused an overwhelming positive response among the industry.  With such a large expected turnout, SC&RA has already exceeded the contracted group block securing the discounted rates.  Although the date to secure discounted rates has expired, there are still rooms available, however remaining rooms are at the Westin’s prevailing rate. 

There are also a number of properties in the immediate area with availability during the dates of the Symposium.  We strongly encourage you to secure your room reservation as soon as possible if you haven’t already done so, as rooms are selling quickly in the entire immediate area.  We have provided some hotels and rate information for your convenience.  Feel free to call the hotel directly or book online to secure the best available rates.  Thank you for your continued support of the Association and we look forward to seeing you in Kansas City.

This conference is Paper-Lite
SC&RA is reducing the amount of paper used at our conferences. This is an effort both to be responsible toward our environment and to increase the quality and timeliness of the resources provided through this educational experience. Electronic session materials will replace paper and will be accessible online at the conclusion of the meeting. A comprehensive handbook will be provided onsite for your reference which will include the schedule, exhibitors, speaker bios and contact information as well as sponsor recognition. It is our hope that you will join us in our goal to be as paper-lite as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at info@scranet.org.
