Ignite Innovation Talks

The Innovation Summit is held in conjunction with the TRANSform Conference, Boston, MA the morning of Wednesday, September 17, 2025.

Get ready for a fun, fast-paced, and informative session featuring several dynamic speakers, speaking for 6 minutes each, offering perspectives from both transit agencies and businesses. This session, held during the Innovation Summit promises to be an exciting showcase of cutting-edge ideas and creative solutions, providing a quick glimpse into the future of public transit. Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired and energized by the latest advancements!

We suggest your videos be engaging, informative and fun. We understand 6 minutes isn’t a lot of time to convey content and that’s why your video should hit the main takeaways of your presentation.
