This year’s theme is “Advancing Technology Through Industry Engagement” and will feature TMC’s customary slate of educational sessions, task force meetings, technical sessions, and management sessions. Additionally, the Council’s Transportation Technology Exhibition trade show will showcase leading-edge technologies for fleet maintenance management. This year’s exhibit is sold-out, featuring 371 vendors—including 45 first-time exhibitors—spanning a 353,000 square-foot exhibit hall.
This year TMC is holding sessions with a special emphasis in two special tracks: Back to Basics and Advanced Technology. Technical Sessions include:
- Regulatory Compliance Review: Catching Up with CARB;
- Effective Strategies for Presenting Maintenance Perspectives to the C-Suite;
- How Data Science Is Defining Today’s Software-defined Vehicles;
- TMC 101: Everything You Wanted to Know About How ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council Works; and
- A special edition of TMC’s popular Shop Talk, focused on the need for standardizing the next generation tractor-trailer electrical interface.
The event also features ride-along demonstrations by Stoneridge, Inc., and static displays by Aperia Technologies, Range Energy, Samsara, Tesla, and Terberg Taylor Americas.
“Building on the success of the Council’s 2024 Fall Meeting in Raleigh, N.C., last September, Council members are excited to gather for our largest event venue, and we’re pleased by the response to our 2025 Annual Meeting agenda,” said TMC General Chairman and Treasurer Amanda Schuier, maintenance director for Jetco Delivery. “We’re all very excited to collaborate in Nashville to help solve the pressing technical issues of the day and view the latest in truck technology.”
