The Future of Freight Festival will be the epicenter of the world of freight transport – Day 1

Two weeks from today, F3: The Future of Trucking will take Chattanooga by storm. Located in the heart of Freight Alley and FreightWaves headquarters, Chattanooga will be enlivened by this unique FreightTech experience.

While FreightWaves presents major events across the country, this is the first time it will host an event in Chattanooga, a picturesque city. F3 will continue the FreightWaves tradition of bringing together industry leaders to discuss key issues affecting the freight markets, as well as the latest trends, laws and regulations affecting the freight, logistics and supply chain industries.

Taking place Tuesday through Thursday, November 1-3, F3 will be the focal point of the Chattanooga Convention Center, but events will be held at various locations around downtown Chattanooga. FreightWaves is excited to showcase the city as well as support local small businesses as we continue to raise the bar for events in our industry.

Overview of F3

F3: Future of Freight Festival will be a major freight conference featuring speakers and industry leaders. But there will be much more: rapid demonstrations of the latest FreightTech, interactive sponsor exhibits and a festival that will include exclusive VIP experiences, entertainment and music, all in Chattanooga on the banks of the Tennessee River.

Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the future of FreightTech, interact with industry leaders and FreightWaves staff, and participate in discussions covering all modes of transportation: truck, air, sea and rail. There will be sessions with experts and entrepreneurs, as well as plenty of opportunities to network with colleagues and new acquaintances from across the industry.

While technology is driving the future of trucking, the focus of the event is on the people behind the innovations and those who use them. F3 will be a total celebration of just that.
