Rethinking Mobility: 2021 Call for Video Submissions
We want to shine a spotlight on your story. IPMI is requesting short video vignettes that illustrate what your organization has done to pivot, inspire, and innovate. IPMI will showcase the stories of up to eight organizations at the 2021 IPMI Parking & Mobility Conference & Expo in Tampa, Fla.
We’ll feature the top stories in the Opening General Session of the Conference! Stories will also be shared across our platforms: Parking & Mobility magazine, the IPMI website, Forum, blog, and social media.
Deadline: September 15, 2021
THE BASICS: There is no cost to submit—just provide the following information:
- Let us know who you are. Full contact information for a minimum of two representatives from the submitting organization. Representatives may be from different organizations, but at least one representative must be from an IPMI member. (New members welcome!) Partners may include other related agencies or departments, transportation management associations, and key partners, suppliers, and consultants.
- Tell us your story (on paper). A brief narrative (250 words or less) highlighting your organization’s parking, transportation, and mobility operations, policies, programs, or pilots. We welcome graphics, bulleted lists, and links to your programs or corporate partner sites to provide additional details.
- Show us (in a video). Upload a short video of up to three minutes sharing your story. Your video/images may be used on banners, signage, structures, websites, the Conference mobile app, IPMI’s website, and social media channels. IPMI reserves the right to edit and alter video submissions for length and content. Please note: no need to hire a video crew – we encourage you to create a simple video!
