Sponsored by Venture 53, a seed-stage fund and accelerator specializing in transportation and logistics, this after-hours event offers networking opportunities for industry professionals at all levels.

Details on registration and location will be shared soon on FR8MVMT's LinkedIn page.
New Partnerships to Expand FR8MVMT's Reach
In addition to the Chattanooga event, FR8MVMT has partnered with several organizations to strengthen its mission of creating more localized networking opportunities within the freight sector. These new partners include the Broker Carrier Summit (BCS), the Transportation Marketing and Sales Association (TMSA), and Manifest, all of which host established national conferences.
"These partnerships are a significant step forward in our mission to create a more connected and collaborative freight industry to drive real innovation and progress," said Nate Johnson, co-founder of FR8MVMT. By collaborating with these organizations, FR8MVMT hopes to further enhance the networking and educational opportunities available to professionals in all roles across the industry.
A Vision for Collaborative Growth in Freight
