A new symposium has been added to the North American Commercial Vehicle Show in Atlanta in late October.
The half-day symposium will be conducted off the main show floor from 8 a.m. to noon on Oct. 29.
The American Trucking Associations and Transport Topics, an industry news outlet, are partnering with show organizers on the symposium. It will feature “thought leaders and industry visionaries selected specifically to discuss a variety of trending industry topics,” said a news release.
The ATA will also host operational benchmarking sessions on Oct. 31.
The biennial show itself runs from Oct. 28 to 31 at the Georgia World Congress Center.
The 2019 show will cover 530,000 square feet, up from 370,000 square feet at the inaugural show in 2017, said an earlier news release from the organizers.
Hannover Fairs USA is co-organizing the event with Newcom Media.
“This symposium is a great opportunity for attendees to take away actionable advice and information that can help both improve their fleet’s profitability as well as protect their operations from outside threats,” Chris Spears, president and CEO of the ATA, said in the most recent release.
