TFF Annual Speaker Series
The TFF Annual Speaker series is a unique opportunity for transportation professionals to interact with top-level transportation executives and at the same time to support the transportation program at NC State University (NCSU). Each fall, TFF sponsors a speaker series. These seminars are intended to inform NC State students and interested transportation professionals. View past presentations.
TFF Annual Banquet Event
In the spring, the TFF invites to campus a nationally renowned transportation executive for a two-day visit. Part of each visit will be a dinner and speech, which will be open exclusively to TFF members. Time will also be set aside for TFF members to interact one-to-one and in small group meetings with the visitor. The remaining part of each visit will be devoted to classroom lectures and meetings with NCSU students. View articles and press releases on the annual banquet event.
