Trade shows and conventions came to a halt with the Covid-19 pandemic. While some organizations went back to live shows in 2021, had fewer attendees and activities. Other organizations hosted virtual events, but sessions and attendee engagement were not the same compared to live events. Virtual events are here to stay, but the importance of in-person events is more prevalent than ever! Companies are eager to get back in person, reconnect with clients and partners, and build connections with potential clients.
The new year is just around the corner and this means events are on the horizon. It can be overwhelming when researching which events are best suited for your company. Whether you are in trucking, warehousing, heavy-duty repair and tow, or a supply chain company in between, RoadSync has identified some of the top shows to attend during the first quarter of 2022.
