The Private Motor Truck Council of Canada has announced the full agenda and schedule for its 2023 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.  “As a result of the growth of the conference and sell outs for both sponsors and attendees for the last 2 in person conferences, the PMTC is excited to be moving to a new venue this year, the Hamilton Convention Centre. The new venue will allow for improved flow in the sponsor’s exhibit area as well as better sightlines and spacing while attending our best-in-class educational seminars. “

The conference will kick off the afternoon of June 21st with the Annual General Meeting for the membership.

On the evening of the 21st , the PMTC Young Leaders Group & TruckRight 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 2022 the pre-conference reception was attended by over 200 people, a new record! 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 22nd, starting at 8 am, the educational portion of the conference will begin and continue into the 23rd.  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 Hamilton Convention Centre in Hamilton, On.

Registration is now open. For more information and sponsorship opportunities, you may also email Annette Kieft at info@pmtc.ca, or call the office at 905-827-0587 x101.
