2025 CTF Education Symposium


  • Long Beach Marriott 4700 Airport Plaza Drive Long Beach, CA, 90815 United States (map)

Student and professional participants from 2023 Education Symposium held in Walnut Creek.

The most anticipated event of the year for many, this two day hands-on workshop is intense and intensely fun for students and professionals alike. Students are paired with mentors for one-on-one coaching. Professionals share the unvarnished truth about the transportation industry and give actionable career advice in plenary panels and small group settings. Student teams compete in a real-world RFQ scenario while professionals role play stakeholders and decision-makers. Students must be nominated to attend by a professor or an employer. CTF covers the cost of student participation. CTF also offers students a need-based travel stipend on a first-come, first-served basis. Student participants are eligible for exclusive scholarship opportunities. An excellent recruiting and networking forum, participants will receive information about fellow attendees, and plenty of time is built in for getting to know the entire group. This year’s event features a behind the scenes tour of the Long Beach Airport and an exclusive meet and greet with airport executives.
