This November, the DIXON team attended the 2026 California Mobility and Parking Association (CMPA) conference in Los Angeles, CA, to listen, learn, and connect with the parking community.

Sessions covered a wide range of topics, from daylighting best practices, the transition to contactless payment, and the introduction of paid parking, to the evolution of data collection, automated bike lane enforcement, and creative educational strategies to improve compliance.

This was also Enya's first parking conference, and she enjoyed exploring the trade show floor, connecting with people across the field, and meeting her wonderful mentor face-to-face. A huge thank you to CMPA for a well-run event and a valuable mentorship program, and to the sponsors who made it possible.

We're bringing these ideas back to our work, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the next event!
