“Very impressed with your entire lineup of speakers”

We attend numerous conventions over the year and I must say we were very impressed with your entire lineup of speakers. The topics were current and very educational. We were both amazed at how well everything was planed. Everything ran so smoothy and we especially enjoyed the luncheon where we rotated tables for each course.  It was a great way to meet other attendees. The gong and bell was also a great way to let everyone know it was time to move or take there seat for the next session. We were also very impressed with how attentive and helpful all your staff was.

“WOW!”

What a great conference. Thank you for inviting me. The Gala Dinner was delicious and I spoke to very interesting people. I also appreciated the gift basket in my room. The venue was first class and the conference was very well organized. I was impressed with “The Transporter” setting up the agenda, but then again he is in our business. I was really impressed that you were able to get Trump to address the conference as he is so busy campaigning and playing golf. The lunch “roulette” was very novel and I spoke to many different and interesting people. The CUSMA flavor of the conference was great and I was happy that I had some international content in my presentation.

Thank you again for including me at you conference. I hope to participate again in the future.

It was a beautiful venue and so amazingly well organized. I loved the way the sessions were broken out into sections with keynotes in the morning, the panel discussion afterwards and the rotational lunch. In all my decades of attending conferences, I'd never experienced a lunch laid out that way so it will definitely stand out in my memories.Our company has a long history of experience in the transportation industry so I'm happy to have made some good contacts which will help to continue our path forward on this journey.

Thanks again for a great couple of days and looking forward to seeing the pictures and connecting with you again soon!

“I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend the 34th Annual Transportation Conference on Innovation & Cost Savings hosted by Richard Lande. This event was nothing short of awe-inspiring, and I’d like to take a moment to share my experience with you.

There conference took place at Harding Waterfront Estate where a number of professional speakers discussed topics like fleet risk management, supply chains, AI, legal issues and broker liability. Attending the conference was not just an educational experience by also a fantastic networking opportunity. I had the privlege of meeting leading professionals and entrepreneurs who share a passion for transforming the way we move and connect goods around the world.”

“An enjoyable, and very well-organized event. The day was extremely informative.” - Craig Arsenault, IKO

“Annual Tradition”

It was an amazing event and we really enjoyed attending. It was a pleasure to meet all of your team and your wife – everyone was super professional and very attentive to any of our needs – they made sure everyone was taken care of and engaged all the guests.

The food was awesome and very very enjoyable.

I thought the rotating lunch was a super smart idea to give everyone the opportunity to meet everyone attending and be able to share their innovations and experience with each other.

The talks were amazing and super insightful – it is truly incredible to me on how fast the industry and its standards are changing since April this year. It was a real treat to be amongst so many professionals – in so many areas of the industry and to take a piece of that experience and apply it to our own business model.

Again Thank you – and I look forward to continue attending and becoming a part this annual tradition.
