TOLEDO, OH. An efficient, profitable, freight network increasingly relies on breaking boundaries – between modes, among partners, through technology. The 2015 Conference on Freight analyzes the trends that will enable that innovation. This year, the conference is a new collaboration that for the first time ever combines three great conferences.
Public and private sector decision makers from across the U.S. and Canada can experience the Ohio Conference on Freight, the Mid-America Freight Conference, and the Kentucky Freight Conference together in one event.
The event is Monday through Wednesday, September 14-16, 2015. The venue is the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza in Cincinnati, Ohio, a registered National Historic Landmark and one of the world’s finest examples of French Art Deco style.
This forum brings together the people who produce and move goods with those who plan, build and maintain freight infrastructure. Transportation planners, manufacturers, economic developers, supply chain executives, labor leaders, lawyers and consultants involved in freight mobility will benefit from attending.
We’ll look at energy production and processing and its relevance to new markets and all modes. We’ll look at strategies for better coordination among producers and carriers and between modes. All conversation is led by accomplished experts in the disciplines of industry, freight policy, economic development and planning. See the full agenda at OhioFreight.org.
The best rate for the conference expires August 14. The early bird rate is $250 through Aug. 14. Standard rate of $300 applies Aug. 15 – Sept. 4. Make hotel accommodations directly with the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza as early as possible for best room rates. Early bird and government employee discounts may apply.
