The Private Motor Truck Council of Canada has announced the full agenda and schedule for its 2022 Conference. “Each year those who attend the PMTC Annual Conference tell us it is one of the best educational and networking values they receive in the transportation industry. We believe this year’s line up of speakers continues to build on that reputation”, says PMTC President, Mike Millian.
“This being our first in person event since June of 2019, we are extremely excited and looking forward to gathering with our industry friends and supporters once again. We believe this year will be the best conference yet, and the agenda will provide top notch value for anyone in the transportation industry!”
The conference will kick off the afternoon of June 8th with the Annual General Meeting for the membership.
On the evening of the 8th, the PMTC Young Leaders Group will host our annual Pre-Conference Cocktail Reception for conference sponsors, speakers, the PMTC Board of Directors, all registered conference attendees, as well as all PMTC Young Leaders Group members. In 2019 the pre-conference reception was attended by over 200 people, a new record at the time! The reception will be held in the Sponsors Exhibitors’ Showcase area to provide more value to our conference partners and those who attend the pre-conference cocktail reception.
On June 9th, starting at 8 am, the educational portion of the conference will begin and continue into the 10th. Mixed in with this will be the PMTC awards program as well as several networking opportunities.
A schedule of topics and events is listed below, and the full brochure with details and registration is up on the PMTC website at www.pmtc.ca. (Conference agenda and schedule subject to change with out notice)
This year’s conference will take place at the Crowne Plaza-Fallsview, in Niagara Falls, ON.
