About FreighTech

The Logistics Conference That Delivers More Than PromisesFor nearly a decade, FreighTech has brought together the industry's most influential voices to share real-world, practical insights on the convergence of logistics and technology.The invite-only event is content-heavy, non-promotional, and is intentionally kept intimate enough that participants will have a chance to speak to every other participant. The content is focused on pragmatic and systemic issues without catering to the lowest common denominator. Think network planning, not Blockchain 101.
