Evolution of Logistics Tech Conferences

The logistics tech industry has evolved significantly over the past decade, as evidenced by the growth and success of conferences like Manifest. This evolution is marked by a shift in perception towards tech companies in the logistics sector, from being viewed as inexperienced to now gaining significant investor interest. The industry's complexity requires a mix of technology and human intervention, challenging the notion that software alone can drive the necessary change. The success of companies like Flexport, exceeding billion-dollar valuations, indicates the substantial investment required to drive innovation in the logistics tech sector.
