Accelerate! Conference Brings Gender Diversity Awareness to New Levels

Nowhere else will you find so much energy, passion, and commitment to the issue of gender diversity in transportation than at the 2021 Accelerate! Conference & Expo. The in-person event takes place Nov. 7-9 at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel, followed by the Virtual Accelerate! Conference for those who are unable to attend the in-person event. “We are pleased to announce that our closing keynote will be Meera Joshi, Acting Administrator for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA),” says Ellen Voie, WIT President and CEO. “She’ll be addressing critical safety and productivity issues and opportunities facing the trucking industry while also sharing her own story about being one of the highest-ranking female government officials in commercial freight transportation.” Both the in-person and virtual conference will not only feature Administrator Joshi, but it also will feature speakers from leading companies such as Amazon, Penske, J.B. Hunt, Yellow, Volvo, Daimler, Prime, Garner Trucking, Tenstreet, TruNorth Warranty Plans, Convoy, TuSimple, Waymo and Gatik. More than 90 companies are involved as sponsors and/or exhibitors.
