The South West Transit Association (SWTA) is excited to announce that sponsorship opportunities are now available for the inaugural SWTA Leadership Lab, taking place September 13–15, 2026, in Breckenridge, Colorado.

Leadership Lab is a brand-new professional development experience created specifically for public transportation leaders. More than a traditional conference, the event is designed as an interactive learning environment where attendees will collaborate, solve real-world challenges, develop leadership skills, and build stronger connections across the transit industry.

The event will bring together transit professionals, agency executives, board members, legal experts, marketing and communications professionals, mobility innovators, and business partners for three days of education, networking, and leadership development in one of Colorado’s most scenic mountain destinations.

SWTA is inviting business members, vendors, and industry partners to become founding sponsors of this exciting new event.
