2025 TRAINERS' SHOWCASE
Join us for this two-day conference where we'll network, learn from transit agencies around the state, and have fun! The conference will take place on October 15th - 16th at the Seattle Airport Marriott Hotel. Registration includes meals.
Come hear presentations from your peers across the state addressing today's hot training topics. Past attendees have frequently told us that this was their favorite WSTIP-hosted event. Not only was it fun, but they were able to take back to their agencies tidbits and training tools that they could actually use. Join us!
