FreightWaves is bringing a completely immersive experience that is bigger and better than ever before to the heart of Freight Alley and home to FreightWaves–Chattanooga, Tennessee! The Future of Freight Festival, or F3, will be the hottest FreightTech event of the year, continuing FreightWaves’ tradition of bringing together industry leaders to discuss the key factors impacting freight markets and the latest trends pushing our industry forward.
F3 will take over downtown Chattanooga on November 1-3, 2022, with events throughout the city and our central hub at the Chattanooga Convention Center. We’re excited to show off our community and support our local small businesses while continuing to raise the bar for events. The event will not only include a forward-thinking freight conference with rapid-fire demos, interactive sponsor kiosks and thought-provoking speakers, but also a festival that includes exclusive VIP experiences, entertainment and music, all in the Scenic City of Chattanooga on the banks of the Tennessee River.
Explore the future of freight technology, engage with industry leaders and attend discussions focused around all modes – trucking, air, ocean and rail. Experience sessions with experts and entrepreneurs, and dive deep into the near future of drones, autonomous and electric vehicles. While it’s technology that drives our future forward, it’s the people behind the innovation that bring the creation to life – F3 will be a full celebration of just that.

Reshoring is the global sourcing and supply chain trend for the next decade. North America is in a prime position to capitalize on the shuffling of the globalization deck. Some of the factors that favor North America when it comes to reshuffling of globalization are geography, demographics and relatively stable governments and the home to the U.S. dollar, which remains the only viable option for a reserve currency. Peter Zeihan joins F3 to describe what to look for when evaluating these changes in the global economy.

Demographics over the next 30 years will be the key driver for the global economy. The worldwide baby boom generation is aging as birth rates in most of the world decline. Population growth will directly affect economic growth, prosperity, resource demand and labor. The global economic system will have to adapt to these demographic changes. Whether this will be small pivots for the existing free market-focused systems or complete deviation to other economic systems is the crucial question the world faces.
A rethinking of globalization has been on the minds of many for years. The pandemic and a rise in geopolitical risks is only an accelerator for established trends. This shift in trade patterns will create havoc when it comes to technology investments for companies needing to create more dynamic supply chains. The key questions are how to invest resources with an eye to where globalization and what trade patterns will be in five to 10 years, rather than where it is now.
