The Recap: SWPTA Edition

This year’s Southwest Parking & Transportation Association (SWPTA) Conference in Las Vegas was everything we hoped for and more: lively discussions, meaningful connections, and plenty of fun with the parking community. Between October 28-30, parking pros from across the region came together in the city that never sleeps to share ideas, stories, and a whole lot of laughs. Here’s our take on the moments that made this year’s SWPTA truly memorable.

 

Costumes, Community, and Creativity

SWPTA’s costume party was a standout moment—because nothing says “parking professionals” like donning creative costumes and cutting loose at karaoke. From clever puns to iconic characters, the event was packed with fun, personality, and a sense of camaraderie that reminded us just how special this community is.

 

Living Life in the Front Row

A highlight of the conference was an inspiring session on living boldly and embracing discomfort. The speaker challenged attendees to take risks, lean into growth, and cultivate emotional intelligence. It was the kind of talk that sticks with you long after the conference ends—a reminder to approach every challenge with confidence and an open mind.

 

Top Golf, Top Moments

Networking hit new heights—literally—at Top Golf. From swings and slices to stories and laughs, it was the perfect setting to connect with colleagues and share ideas in a laid-back environment. Who knew you could learn so much about parking while aiming for the targets?

 

Old Vegas Charm Meets New Parking Connections

There’s something magical about spending time in old, downtown Las Vegas. Between a lively pub crawl and countless conversations, the energy was electric, and the connections were genuine. SWPTA isn’t just a conference; it’s a place where beautiful relationships are formed, strengthened, and celebrated.

 

Onward and Upward

SWAPTA 2024 reminded us of what makes this industry truly shine: the people. With new insights and a deeper sense of community, we’re leaving Las Vegas ready to embrace the future of parking.
