Future of Freight Festival will be epicenter of freight world – Day 2 

‍Attendees will have opportunities to explore the future of FreightTech, engage with industry leaders and the staff of FreightWaves, and attend discussions focused on all transportation modes: trucking, air, ocean and rail. There will be sessions with experts and entrepreneurs, and multiple opportunities to network with colleagues and new acquaintances from across the industry. 

Technology is driving the future of freight forward. However, it’s the people behind the innovation and those using it that are the focus of F3.
