“We believe this event is a fantastic opportunity for leaders who recognize the need to transition to the cloud for their operations and information systems but haven’t yet started, or who are currently using a piecemeal approach to streamlining and working smarter using the cloud,” said Director of Sales and Marketing, Evan Bissonette. “We focus on the big picture and offer solutions that CEOs and company leaders need to know about and implement at their organizations if they want to remain competitive or push for more innovation.”
The event will include dinner, drinks and networking opportunities and has limited remaining
availability. Those interested can register for the remaining seats at FreightWaves’ website. If
no in-person spots remain, anyone who registers will receive online access. If you are unable to travel to Chattanooga for the event, you are invited to register for online access.
