The Canadian Transport Lawyers Association (CTLA) will hold its annual, international conference on September 22-24, 2011, at Inn at the Forks in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

“The 2011 CTLA Annual Conference will bring together transportation lawyers, their clients and advisors as well as representatives from all levels of government. The who’s who of the transportation world in North America will be attending,” Ryall said.
This year's keynote speaker is Gail S. Asper, President of The Asper Foundation. The international roster of speakers includes prominent Canadian, U.S., and Mexican transport lawyers and professional consultants, as well as representatives from the transportation industry and government agencies.
Key topics include:
