CPTA Conference 2026 runs October 18–21, 2026.

The conference takes place at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina.

The organizer names campus parking and transportation leaders, university professionals, industry partners, and parking, transportation, and mobility professionals as attendees.

It is most useful for campus parking and transportation managers in the Southeast, since the sessions cover enforcement, mobility planning and customer service, and a trade show showcases suppliers to higher education programs. Professionals from non-campus parking operations, or those seeking a large national show, would get less from a regional association meeting held on the University of South Carolina campus.

Campus parking and transportation professionals usually wear business casual, such as khakis and polos or blouses, with comfortable shoes for the trade show and the Colonial Life Arena tour.
