FreightWaves’ F3: Future of Freight Festival

Harry Broadman presented a town hall on “Technology in a World of Shifting Trade Patterns.”

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 trade patterns will be in five to ten years, rather than where they are now.
