FTR’s conference was unlike most transportation conferences I’ve attended. This conference is grounded in data and is tailored for those needing, generating, or analyzing data to improve the business.

The multiple content channels were great. The Q&A was handled well and app technology worked very well. The networking and size of the conference allowed many folks to interact and I thought the FTR staff did a fantastic job of talking with people and helping make sure the conference went smoothly.

If you are new to the NA transportation industry or just struggling to understand how it works go to the FTR conference. They have a thorough understanding of the industry and a special knack for bringing in industry insiders & experts to explain everything you need to know. Additionally, the majority of the major OEMs and industry suppliers from trucking and rail send representatives to the conference which provides a great opportunity to network.

This was my first year attending the conference. From a content standpoint, this was the most informative conference that I’ve ever attended. If a fraction of the networking meeting that I had pan out, it’s a potential gold mine.

    Data is king for us...  We trust your data.  It's one of our bell-weather conferences for the year.

    VP of Sales, Marketing & Business Development, Modern Rail Capital

    I have been coming for many years...  The content is key.  But also this conference offers a overall value-added experience.  That's the networking, the ambiance, all the things that make a conference successful.  This conference, in addition to offering really good content offers a great opportunity to bring people together.

    Paul Titterton

    Paul Titterton

    Executive VP & President, Rail NA. GATX Corp.

    What I enjoy most isn't "my day" or the rail freight day.  I learn more from listening to the other presentations from other modes or equipment.  I learn more coming to the other days.
