Of course, they are both credited with the first sustainable flight flown over the Outer Banks of Kittyhawk North Carolina. Success comes mostly through failure. The Wright Brothers knew plenty of failure. In the same room, the boys sketched, dreamed, tinkered and collaborated one of the most important and significant inventions the world has ever conceived. The boys won the Race for Flight. There isn’t a bit of a chance that it would have happened over a Zoom call.

Scaling Parking Operations with Tech in 2026
The Learning Lab focused on applying game day best practices to campus-wide events. Moderated by Drew Lee (JustPark), the session featured Brian Riggs (University of Notre Dame) and Brett Litterell (Ohio State/CampusParc), who shared insights from managing large-scale concerts and third-party events. They emphasized key differences from football operations, including a higher volume of first-time visitors at concerts. Discussion topics included real-time data management, pre-event communication, and coordinating simultaneous events across campus. The panel also covered challenges like parking capacity, cashless payments, traffic control, and integrating platforms such as JustPark and Ticketmaster, along with considerations for towing, rideshare, and medical staffing.
Camera-based systems, mobile payments, EV charging, parking guidance, and AI-driven analytics platforms are transforming how parking facilities operate.
