AASHTO Recap: Right of Way by the Great Salt Lake
by FLAIRDOCSWho would’ve thought you’d find the best of the Right of Way DOT Conference on the banks of the Great Salt Lake?
From April 27 to May 2, Flairsoft representatives found themselves at the annual AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) conference in Salt Lake City, rubbing shoulders with some of the industry’s biggest players, and seeing the inner workings of transportation Right of Way with a front row seat to the action.
Flairsoft was represented by its CEO/President, Dheeraj Kulshrestha, and by Account Manager Courtney Cassie, as they spent six days learning, and above all, showcasing the burgeoning Flairdocs product to the ever-interested transportation industry. Their time, split between conferences, presentations (viewed and given), and speaking with various state DOTs included, according to Account Manager Cassie, a few more personal touches, as well.
A very large number of demos were given at side meetings with clients met at the conference, according to Cassie, where interested parties were given a chance to see the processing power of Flairdocs in action. As well, Flairsoft even went so far as to host its own Wednesday afternoon social gathering to, as Cassie put it, “get to know future clients in a more laid back setting, giving us the ability to talk to everyone one on one.” The social opened up numerous doors and prospects for future Flairdocs implementation, which she noted she was very excited about.
The pinnacles of the event included formal gatherings, as well. The annual AASHTO reception provided diner and entertainment for more than 250 registered attendees in a formal evening setting, allowing the attendees to truly get a taste of Salt Lake City hospitality.
But the personal highlights of Flairsoft’s representatives came not only from the conference itself, but also from the ability to explore the city a bit more in depth. Dheeraj and Courtney made it all the way to Park City, Utah, Salt Lake City’s neighbor, to explore the famous ski resorts, and even have lunch at the Deer Valley Resort. Every conference has its personal memories, as well!
All in all, the conferences, meetings, and knowledge gained made AASHTO an exceptionally successful conference. Flairsoft looks forward to fostering the relationships gained at the conference, and moving forward to introduce its growing Flairdocs product to even more of the industry’s leaders in the future.
