2025 Winter Meeting – Recap and Congrats to Traffic Bowl Winners
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our fantastic meeting in Knoxville. Despite the weather delaying us for a week, we still had a fantastic turnout! The UT Conference Center provided us with a great space and a delicious lunch. We are grateful to the speakers for generously sharing their time and insights with us during the meeting.
We also held our annual Traffic Bowl and third annual Professional Traffic Bowl! Congratulations to the University of Memphis for their victory! Let’s all be sure to cheer for them at the SDITE Meeting in Memphis!
Tennessee Tech, University of Tennessee Knoxville, and University of Memphis Teams Compete in the Traffic Bowl!
Traffic Bowl Winners from the University of Memphis (Anslee Billingsley, Averie Irons, Drew Davis, and Aidan Espy) with the TSITE Board
Thank you to all of our professionals that participated in the Professional Traffic Bowl. In an exciting game full of opportunities to learn from the younger generation, the Public Team was able to edge out the student champions and private sector to take the victory.

And we cannot forget to thank our Traffic Bowl Committee and volunteers. As per tradition, Steve Allen was our illustrious emcee, while Nathan Vatter and Lauren Gaines served as our esteemed judges. Trey Todd, Bryan Bartnik, Cameron LaRose, and Greg Judy did a great job of getting the Traffic Bowl set up and running the games.
