You’re Invited to PMTC’s 2021 Virtual Annual Conference
On behalf of the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada (PMTC)’s Board of Directors, I’m pleased to invite you all to attend the 2021 PMTC Virtual Annual Conference, scheduled on June 16-18, 2021.
The decision to go virtual was unanimous with upmost consideration to the health and safety of our members, staff, speakers, friends, industry colleagues and guests who attend our event year after year. It is our responsibility to provide you all with an event, where you can safely connect with your fellow members and gain the latest education, training and information to advance your career in the industry; therefore, this virtual platform will accommodate our needs and yours until 2022, when we look forward to connecting once again in-person at the next Annual Conference.
For this year’s event, we’ve once again partnered with C-Vent, one of the world’s leading virtual conference partners. Their team has been actively working with the PMTC to ensure that your online experience – as a user and sponsor of this event – is better (in quality and value) and more streamlined, to ensure we enhanced your value even further than we provided at last year’s event.
From June 16-18, the Conference will kick off at 10 a.m. and conclude at 3 p.m. (EST). This year’s event will offer 10 educational seminars and the PMTC awards programs. Since in-person award presentations are not possible at this time, we will be using video tributes to announce each winner and recognize them for their incredible achievements. See page 11 of Private Motor Carrier to view the full
line-up of seminars, scheduled awards programs, and information for registration.
