Dear Industry Member,

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 2026 AMPO Annual Conference, taking place September 14^th–18^th at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, located in Sacramento, CA

Sponsoring at the AMPO Annual Conference is an excellent opportunity to increase your company’s visibility and build solid business relationships with over 700 planning professionals, including MPO directors, transportation planners, and elected officials from across the country. AMPO’s current network reaches over 2,300 individuals throughout the transportation planning industry via our in-person and virtual events.

Space is limited, so we encourage you to register soon. This year, we are offering additional ways for you to distinguish yourself from your competition and generate leads through unique branded sponsor items like the mobile app, specialized on-site branded opportunities, and more!

We are also excited to share our Industry Partnership Program that provides organizations with exceptional access to the AMPO community through unique annual marketing and sponsorship opportunities of AMPO thought leaders, webinar series, networking events, and conferences each year. Note – Industry Partners will receive first choice of booth location and additional event benefits for the annual conference.

Should you have any questions, please contact Kelly at kcoates@ampo.org or events@AMPO.org We look forward to the opportunity to partner with you at the 2026 AMPO Annual Conference in Sacramento, CA.
