WASHTO 2024
WASHTO is headed back to Nebraska for the first time since 2005! Much like 2005, Omaha will serve as the host city. The 2024 theme will be infrastructure for a rapidly changing world. Programming and content is being finalized but you can expect speakers, panels, and sessions to focus around the changing infrastructure in the transportation industry.
If you have any questions about the conference, please contact Ryley Egger (ryley.egger@nebraska.gov) or Ryan Huff (ryan.huff@nebraska.gov) for program or agenda questions.
