National Railway Day - Virtual Speaker Series
On November 4th, 2020 at 1 p.m. EST, CARS will be hosting a full virtual conference on Hopin in place of the cancelled National Railway Day 2020.
The theme for this event will be "Bridging the Gap: Non-Stop Innovation".
As an industry that supports the movement of people and material we also want to encourage the movement of ideas and technology.
Innovation is an important theme that we believe bridges the various gaps that occur in our industry, such as technology, gender, age, and even culture.
It is a shared desire to create more effective ideas, processes and products to aid in the success of businesses.
There will be an opportunity to discuss how companies are coping and continuing business through the current pandemic.
