Meeting Notes

Governance Document Updates / Vice-Chair Appointment

AMPO Conference Session Planning

  • The early bird date has been extended until September 23. Is there any deadline for speaker rate registration? For conference-related questions (like registration questions), contact Lesile at [email protected].
  • Content/participation suggestion: invite RSG and WSP to be able to concisely present some technical activities completed recently but focus the panel on partners.
  • Latest panel:
    • Joe
    • Dennis
    • Someone from MWCOG
    • Maybe Guy
  • Other agencies could provide content to be presented, even if they aren’t going to attend. They could record their presentation ahead of time. SANDAG would be interested in this. SEMCOG is probably closest to being able to deploy ActivitySim in production (Jilan to work with Joe on this).
  • ACTION ITEM: Other agencies to contact Joe if they would like to have a recorded presentation included.
  • ACTION ITEM: Joe to develop a template for presentation.
