Women In Trucking Announces Debut of Accelerate! Conference & Expo in 2015 April 11, 2014 (MindShare Strategies Media Services) – Women In Trucking, a non-profit association, announces annual Accelerate! Conference & Expo to debut Sept. 20-22, 2015 at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas. “After significant research, we’ve found that there is a need and market demand for this event,” said Ellen Voie, president/CEO and founder of the association. “There are compelling challenges and opportunities in the transportation industry, ranging from the driver shortage and safety on the road to recruiting creative leadership and management resources. We are confident that hosting this conference will accelerate our mission: to encourage the employment of women in trucking, promote their accomplishments and minimize their obstacles in the industry.” Themed “Moving Transportation Forward,” the Accelerate! conference will provide a relevant forum at which transportation topics, trends, issues, and professional development is presented with a mixture of content geared to female-specific and to the general population, according to Voie. It will also serve to raise awareness of issues involving women in transportation of all modes, encourage collaboration and problem solving involving these issues, and present perspectives of the positive impact women can have on the industry. An expo will feature a venue where providers of products and services pertinent to transportation, workforce, and gender issues can network, learn, exchange ideas, and build business in the intimate, integrated setting. “We see this conference as a forum for top executives in transportation companies, but anyone who believes the gender balance should be changed in the industry should attend and participate in the Accelerate! Conference & Expo,” said Voie. “We truly believe this will be a catalyst in “Moving Transportation Forward.” Women In Trucking now is seeking qualified sponsors and exhibitors to participate.
