Absolutely and you’ll find that it’s quite the buzz during the event with attendees engaging and connecting virtually even on the go. You’ll also find that it’s packed full of information and this year, in an effort to be more sustainable, IPMI will not be producing a physical Program Guide and the content will be posted in the mobile app.  It’s also a useful tool to start planning your session participation and getting to know other attendees long before your feet hit the ground in New Orleans.

You can find the mobile app in the Google Playstore or Apple App Store by searching for IPMI2026 beginning in early May.


First of all, welcome and we’re glad you’ve decided to join us; you won’t regret it!  You will receive an email invitation to attend a Frist Timers Networking Session.  Be on the lookout as the event gets closer! 

Be sure to download the conference mobile app from the Google Playstore (in late May) or Apple App Store.


The Call for Presentations opens August 11 and closes on September 15, 2025.  For more information, including the submission process for future events, contact Kathleen Federici, federici@parking-mobility.org, with any questions.

 


All programming will be held at the Baird Center. Locations for events not being held at the Center will be noted in the Events Section of the website or noted in the Schedule-at-a- Glance.

Hotel & Travel

Visit the hotel page on the website here to book your hotel reservations. 

Please be advised that neither IPMI nor the conference hotels will contact you directly to arrange accommodation. Anyone claiming to do so is not authorized to represent our organization.


The hotel cut-off is May 18, 2026, however, please be aware, this only means that the IPMI contracted block of rooms is available to book up until that date, based on availability. Many of our properties sell out well in advance of the cut-off date.  Book early!


If you have missed the deadline, please email us at conference@parking-mobility.org. We will do our best to reach out to the hotel on your behalf but cannot guarantee that the hotel has a room for you.

You can also reach out to the property directly. 


All education and exhibits are self-contained in the Baird Center.

IPMI shuttles will be provided to all off property special events including the Parking & Mobility Classic Golf Outing and the Opening Welcome Event. Shuttle service will NOT be provided from the hotels to the Convention Center.  


None of our properties will contact you initially to book your hotel.  These are pop-up entities that prey on convention traffic to run scams or meet quotas.  Often times they will book your room but later you will find out that you don’t have a room onsite or you pay additional fees.  These “room pirates” are extremely unscrupulous and are often long gone by the time the event rolls around.  We strongly encourage you to book inside IPMI’s block to protect yourself and reap the benefits of IPMI’s negotiated concessions and messaging service during the event.
