We are excited to announce that, for the first time, the 13th Annual ITE Western District Student Leadership Summit will be held at UC Irvine in 2026. Please join us for three event-filled days of learning and networking with fellow transportation enthusiasts – both students and professionals!
Attendees will take part in field-trips, workshops, a gala-style banquet, a career fair, networking, and much more. This event is a valuable opportunity for students to broaden their industry knowledge in various transportation fields and build their network with industry professionals and student peers. Attendees will enjoy locally-catered meals that showcase Orange County’s diverse and vibrant food scene.
SLS brings together students and professionals from all over the Western District (encompassing ITE members from California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, and more), each with their unique experiences that have developed their enthusiasm for transportation. During the Summit, students and professionals will have the chance to connect, forming life-long collaborations and professional partnerships.
