FreightWaves LIVE Chicago: Everything you need to know about the year’s hottest FreightTech event

Nov. 12-13, FreightWaves will host a FreightWaves LIVE event at McCormick Place in Chicago.

As we head into 2020, it is vital to be up to date on the trends, topics and factors impacting the freight transportation industry. FreightWaves LIVE will feature quick-fire demos of today’s hottest technologies, presentations from top-ranked speakers and fireside chats informing you about the latest trends in the freight industry.

Not only is this event an opportunity to learn about the current and future state of the industry, but it is a chance to network with and learn alongside some of the top thinkers in the industry, as over 1,500 executives will be in attendance. Senior-level transportation executives, venture capitalists, industry analysts, developers, media, bloggers and entrepreneurs from all across the country will be under the same roof, and you are not going to want to miss out on this networking opportunity.


Over the course of the event, FreightWaves will feature live product demos from leading technology and solution providers sharing insight on how these technologies work and how they are shaking up the industry. Whether you are part of a startup or a leading freight technology company, this is a great opportunity to get your product in front of potential customers, media, prospective partners and venture capitalists.

The lineup of speakers for FreightWaves LIVE is unbeatable.
