Welcome to the Parking Industry Exhibition I have been reviewing the list of speakers and sessions that we have prepared for PIE 2012
and even this jaded editor is impressed. First, we have two featured speakers, Todd Myers and Dr. Harald R. Raetzch. Todd is the author of “Eco Fads” and is also an environmentalist. Be green, but be smart about it. Harald is a world renowned expert in cloud technology and will give valuable information on how this movement is taking parking by storm. In addition, we have featured speakers on topics of particular interest to Cities,
Universities, and Airports. Do you have a strategic plan? Do you need one? Does it pay to switch to Pay and Display? Is your enforcement operation up to snuff? How can a sustainability program affect your botom line? And that’s just the beginning. Check out the rest on the next pages. Boot Camp is my favorite group of sessions at PIE. World-class experts, led by “top kick”
Chuck Cullen, will hold forth on the basics of parking. Tere is no school you can atend to learn about your profession. Here is the place to get the ground level information. PLUS this year, we have break out sessions focused on information for Cities, Airports, and Universities. Our exhibition is bigger and beter than ever. Manufacturers bring their wares, but are
limited in the money than can spend to try to “wow” you. Tey are asked to interact with atendees to find out what they need and answer their questions. Tis is not a “pick up a brochure, leave a card and run” exhibition. You will get good input. Bring your needs, get them filled. Tere is also time for networking both in the exhibit hall and in our speed networking
session. Meet 45 people in 60 minutes. Get contact information; find out if they can help you, set appointments for later. You have heard of speed dating, this is speed networking. PIE atendees leave not only with information, but ways to find answers to questions that
come up when they return home. We are presenting each full session atendee with a ‘nook’ ereader with all the session information loaded on it in PDF form. Our platinum sponsors are holding drawings for flat panel displays that can be used in the office, or as a TV at home. Register today for the Parking Industry Exhibition. It’s a small investment for a large return.
See you in Chicago
John Van Horn Editor, Parking Today
Welcome
Networking is more than a buzz word
Many parking issues you have to solve have been addressed by others in our business. Te answers aren’t writen down, the solutions aren’t obvious. It can be lonely out there. At PIE we offer many ways to meet your opposite numbers across the country. Speed networking, a number of social events in the evening, speaker contact information, and just feeling comfortable with the folks you meet on the exhibit hall floor. Te contacts you make at PIE can be more important than the information from the sessions. Tese are people who have addressed the very problems you face and can help you solve them. PIE is the place to network.
