F3: Future of Freight Festival 2026

The event takes place at The Signal in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

F3 brings together 1,000+ attendees, including 50+ speakers.

General admission is $1,895.

Freight and logistics leaders across the industry attend, including professionals from carriers, brokers, shippers, and 3PLs.

F3 spans 4 events across 3 days, featuring main stage keynotes, rapid-fire demos, exhibits, and evening experiences.

Day 0 on October 26 includes the FreightTech100, FreightTech25, and Shipper of Choice awards celebration, available as a $495 add-on featuring cocktails and industry recognition.

Yes, F3 can be bundled with the Brokerage Compliance Symposium for a combined price of $2,590, saving $295 off individual rates.

It is most useful for freight and logistics executives and freight-tech founders who want exposure to startups and a large gathering in one place, given 1,000+ attendees, 50+ speakers and exhibitors such as Pallet, Cargofy and Highway. The $1,895 registration, plus a $495 add-on for the awards day, is a real outlay, so operations managers looking for hands-on practitioner training would likely get less than leaders who value keynotes, demos and deal-making run by FreightWaves.

Attendees at freight-tech and logistics festivals usually wear business casual, with startup founders often in smart jeans and sneakers and a jacket for evening events. Comfortable shoes help on an exhibit floor across two conference days, and Chattanooga in late October calls for a light layer.

FreightWaves organizes F3: Future of Freight Festival.

Exhibitors include LSP44, Pallet, Cargofy, Highway, RoxStart AI, and Willog.
