The Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association (TLPA) has finalized its trio of keynote speakers for its landmark 100th Annual Convention & Trade Show, which is being held Oct. 27-29 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The impressive lineup includes the founder of a Silicon Valley technology company discussing the autonomous-vehicle evolution, a Disney executive speaking about customer service, and a marketing expert who wrote a book about lessons learned from a chance encounter with an exuberant, self-promoting taxi driver, “Taxi Terry.”
- Chris Jones, co-founder of Canalys, will present the opening address, “The Electric & Autonomous Vehicle Revolution.” Canalys is the first autonomous-vehicle market analysis service. Jones’ address will be a master class in all things autonomous.
