âHumans are super powerful in this process,â Paul said. âThey build relationships, solve messy edge cases, piece together ambiguous info. Tech should amplify that.â
In the latest podcast episode, the FreightCaviar team sat down by the pool to give our take on the TIA 2024 Capital Ideas Conference. For those immersed in the freight tech and brokerage sectors, this conference is a must-attend. Here's what we noticed.
New Products and Offerings at Media Day
The kick-off event was Media Day, where 28 companies showcased their ideas, including ShipperCRM! We shared our excitement about ShipperCRM's partnership with Triumph Financial and the CEO of AscendTMS, Tim Higham.
Networking Opportunities: "Honestly, phenomenal. The place here, this JW Marriott Hotel, I mean, the way they organized it, everything was beautiful. Everyone was happy, laid back." The casual atmosphere allowed everyone to make connections with ease.
Market Prospects: "Even if you don't land a customer because you're brand new, you're trying to explore an idea or whatever, you can come here and actually test out that idea by just simply talking to all these people."
Others are already rolling out the social media posts detailing what they got from the conference. The CEO of AVRL sharedfrom his reflections on LinkedIn:
