    Great Groups Tour

    Great Groups Tour turns the Expo Hall into a curated, high-impact walkthrough designed specifically for NPA member communities. Think of it as a guided “best of the show” experience—where your group travels together, meets the right exhibitors, and gets a fast, focused look at the solutions shaping parking right now.

    Along the route, you’ll stop at featured vendors and suppliers for quick demos, practical Q&A, and real talk about what’s working in operations, technology, customer experience, revenue, and risk. It’s part discovery, part networking, and part insider access - built to help your member type find the tools, partners, and ideas that actually fit your world.

    Come for the tour. Leave with new contacts, new solutions, and a shortlist of booth-visits that are truly worth your time.

    Invited Groups:

    • Certified Parking Professionals / CPP All Stars
    • WOMEN IN PARKING Members
    • 40 Under 40 and Young Professionals
    • NEW NPA MEMBERS: New Members / First-time Attendees
  • 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM
    WIP Mentoring Lab | Pop-Up Mentoring Event

    Step onto the Expo Floor and into the WIP Mentoring Lab Pop-Up - a high-energy, drop-in mentoring experience built for real conversations and real career momentum.

    Think of it as speed-mentoring meets strategy session: pull up a chair, get matched in the moment, and dive into the questions that matter - career next steps, leadership challenges, navigating tough workplace moments, negotiation, visibility, and building your network with intention. Whether you’re looking for a quick gut-check, a new perspective, or a bold next move, you’ll leave with practical advice, fresh connections, and a clear action step you can use immediately.

    No registration. No pressure. Just powerful, point-blank mentoring - right where the industry comes together.
