Alexandria, VA –March 22, 2010- Free Enterprise/Small Business and a CSA 2010 Panel are featured topics at the Transportation Intermediaries Association’s 32nd Annual Convention and Trade Show being held in Tucson, Ariz., April 7 -10.

A session entitled Defeating the Assault on Small Business will be led by Adam W. Salerno, a senior manager in the National Security and Emergency Preparedness Department at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Salerno will discuss how business entrepreneurs such as TIA members are the backbone of America and will explore how you can defend free enterprise and continue to “Dream Big”.
Howard Abramson, Publisher and Editorial Director of Transport Topics will moderate a two hour session on CSA 2010 and how it will affect your daily business practices. He will be joined Rob Abbott, Vice President of Safety, the American Trucking Associations and John M. Quartuccio, Federal Program Manager, FMCSA-Arizona.
TIA’s Trade Show is sold out and those firms which took advantage of this opportunity will be able to offer their goods and services to the best of the 3PL industry.
As the economy begins to improve and government changes increase, it is more important than ever to position your company for the future. TIA's meeting is designed to help the industry's leading 3PLs recognize the changes necessary to grow and prosper, said Robert Voltmann, TIA’s president and CEO.
Participants at the Transportation Intermediaries Association’s 32nd Annual Convention and Trade Show will benefit from 16 educational sessions in 4 tracks which can be mixed and matched to create a unique learning experience. Five plenary sessions on topics that affect every 3PL, three pre-conference seminars and the largest trade show for brokerage-based 3PLs make this a “must attend” event.
