Freight Transportation & Logistics: Accelerating First to Last Mile SEPT. 9 - 11, 2020

COVID-19 has affected transportation operations in fundamental ways, with potentially lasting impact on shippers, carriers, and investors. As Fall 2020 marks the industry's emergence from a significant decline in domestic and international freight movement, Northwestern faculty and industry experts aim to provide practical insights for managing under COVID-19 and charting the future unknowns as part of a three-day Executive Education program...

NUTC’s Executive Education Freight Transportation & Logistics program has a proven track record of delivering current and forward-looking insight and actionable knowledge into North American and global transportation and supply chains. From domestic transportation (intermodal, parcel and last mile delivery, rail, third-party logistics, trucking), to international (air cargo, ocean shipping, ports), the three-day program provides unmatched insight into how freight moves. Attendees receive a first-hand look at logistics, and supply chain trends, while learning to leverage freight management technology and data analytics in order to enhance efficiency and ensure resilience within their respective organization.

Program content is thoroughly integrated by instructors, to ensure participants gain a comprehensive understanding and unique perspective of both domestic and international transportation sectors. Program content is interactive, providing numerous networking opportunities and in-depth discussions with faculty and fellow attendees. Prior knowledge and experience in logistics, transportation and supply chain management will benefit attendees, but is not a prerequisite. This year's course is specifically designed for early- to mid-levtransportation managers, at both carriers and shippers, seeking to deepen their overall knowledge of the freight transportation ecosystem
