San Diego, CA – Today, the American Trucking Associations opened trucking’s premiere industry event, the 2025 ATA Management Conference & Exhibition.
“ATA’s Management Conference & Exhibition is the place to be for trucking's most influential leaders, innovators, and advocates to engage with key decision makers and shape the future of trucking,” said ATA President & CEO Chris Spear. “From fighting back against trial lawyers, to drafting the highway reauthorization bill, to cracking down on cargo theft, there is a lot at stake, and a lot to discuss. On top of a jam-packed MCE agenda of committee meetings, education sessions, and other networking opportunities, we will be strategizing on how we can drive policy together and position our industry for success.”
This year’s event, themed “A United Front: Driving Policy in a New Era,” opens today at the San Diego Convention Center.
With sessions covering the legal landscape, the state of the economy, emerging technologies, safety regulations, labor policies, emissions, and other key industry issues, as well as Spear’s annual state of the industry address, MCE attendees will spend the next few days discussing the future of trucking.
“Trucking’s unity is one of our most powerful assets, and that unity has been instrumental in helping us achieve a number of key wins already this year, from commonsense emissions regulations to tax reform,” said ATA Chairman Dennis Dellinger, President & CEO of Cargo Transporters Inc. “MCE offers our industry the chance to reconnect, discuss key challenges and opportunities, and chart the course ahead for our association and our industry.”
