NASSTRAC provides education, advocacy, connections and solutions to transportation, logistics and supply chain professionals who manage freight across all modes. This year's educational conference for shippers will offer general sessions, executive panels, and a comprehensive exhibition for transportation and logistics decision-makers with manufacturers, retailers and distributors who want to learn and network with other leaders in the industry.
Other featured sessions include a C-level provider panel on market conditions that will include Doug Duncan, president and CEO of FedEx Freight; Mike Smid, president and CEO of North American Transportation, YRC Worldwide Inc., and Jeff Brashares, COO of Pacer Global Logistics. A shipper panel addressing best practices in transportation will be led by Mike Harry, chief supply chain officer for LifeWay Christian Resources; Kevin Smith, senior vice president of supply chain and logistics for CVS/Caremark; John Rutherford, vice president of global transportation for Duty Free Stores; and Wayne Johnson, director of logistics for American Gypsum Company.
In addition, NASSTRAC's education advisor John Langley, Ph.D, professor of supply chain management at Georgia Tech will give a strategic view of current supply chain management practices, and Jon Langenfeld of Robert W. Baird & Co. and Tom Connolly of EVE Partners, will provide perspectives on Wall Street and why they're important to transportation.
"This is a superb environment that promotes strategic thinking, learning, and invaluable networking," said NASSTRAC president Gail Rutkowski of AIMS Logistics. "For repeat attendees or first-time attendees, there's no doubt the well thought-out content will help transportation and logistics professionals increase efficiencies, streamline the supply chain, and increase the bottom line for their organization."
