Comment on How did we do? by Phil Detrixhe

It was SUPER!!! The APTA Markeing Workshop brought together marketers from accross North America with different and great ideas. It was a great learning experience. The Marketing Exchange Round Table and the Lunch and Learn with our peers was for me the highlight of the Workshop. Collaborating and sharing of ideas will allow many marketers to be more creative and productive in their local transit organizations. Already I am getting e-mails from other transit marketing managers asking for suggestions and I have done the same. It was a great networking opportunity.

I appreciated those that did the presentations and took time out of thier regular work to share with us.

Comment on BRT Branding by Phil Detrixhe

I really apprecaited the information on BRT. The session was great and those that presented it made it interesting. We are in the subburban area of Kansas City in Johnson County. We want BRT in Johnson County where Kansas City, Mo. has it. Learning out it and how to promote it was certainly important for me.

Thank You.

The APTA workshop was excellent!!!! The media coaching was great, and the presenters were superior. I learned a lot and met a lot of nice people. Kudos to the APTA staff, and I look forward to the next marketing workshop.

Thanks for this blog and for the entire workshop. Even for in-person participants, the blog is a very useful tool to see the presentations that were missed.

Hi Eric.

We’re working with our web developers to make some final tweaks to the Youth Summit web site. It should be live soon!

Bob,

Try saving the file to your hard drive and then selecting “Open With > Microsoft PowerPoint.” If that doesn’t work let me know, and I’ll e-mail you the document.

Thanks,
