Cincinnati, Ohio

The tour’s first stop in Cincinnati on February 24 sets the stage in a city renowned for its substantial impact on Midwest logistics. Home to major companies like Procter & Gamble, Kroger, and Cintas, Cincinnati is a bustling hub where commerce converges strategically. Check out this session for region-specific insights tailored to the Midwest freight engine. 

Memphis, Tennessee

As we make our way to Memphis on February 26, this is a great opportunity to learn more about global logistics. The city, which famously hosts the headquarters of FedEx and the nation’s busiest cargo airport, is a great backdrop for discussing strategies to compete in global logistics.

Charlotte, North Carolina

Charlotte, scheduled for March 3, is known for being a congregation point for major distribution hubs as well as corporations like Lowe’s and Honeywell. Charlotte is a rapidly growing freight market and a great place to learn about the evolving distribution landscape.

Atlanta, Georgia

The Southeast tour culminates in Atlanta on March 5. Recognized as the Southeast’s freight powerhouse and bolstered by giants such as UPS, Delta Cargo, and Norfolk Southern, Atlanta is a critical node in North American logistics, especially since the city’s infrastructure also encompasses the bustling Port of Savannah.
