PREMIER FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION EVENT OF THE YEAR!

This week we mailed (USPS) all Members the colorfully illustrated brochure detailing the League’s 103rd Annual Meeting and TransComp Exhibition, November 13-16, 2010 to be held in Fort Lauderdale, FL. After you receive it, we encourage you to take a few moments and check it out. We believe you will be impressed with the content, including speakers, educational program, trade show and other events which continues to prove that this is “The Premier Freight Transportation Event of the Year.”

Each and every year we introduce improvements in our program based on the feedback we receive from attendees. This year is no exception. We have shortened, improved and reformatted our multi-modal session (focused this year on capacity), as well as our trade show exhibition, TransComp, which features the latest technologies and equipment available to make your supply chain more efficient.
