Last month, truck stop and travel leaders and industry vendors attended the NATSO Foundation's leadership event, Fast Forward Focus.
NATSO's Fast Forward Focus was designed to help highway fuel retailers gain insight into how trends are likely to affect their operating environment. At NATSO, it is always the interaction among outstanding peers around the room that turns expert information into actionable insights and we had a great group in Denver.
Dates for 2024 will be announced soon. Shoot an email to Amy Toner, the NATSO Foundation’s executive director, at atoner@natso.com to be alerted when dates are selected.
We had a terrific lineup of speakers full of insights to help travel centers grow their businesses and prepare for what's ahead.
Below are the links to the presentations shared in Denver:
- Macro Trends Analysis: Automation, Artificial Intelligence, and the Implications for Labor
- Macro Trends Analysis: Supply Chain Shifts and the Implications for Long-Haul Trucking
- Working Session: Non-Retailer Networks: Opportunities, Challenges and Unknown
- Capital Solutions for Strategic Growth: Navigating the Current Capital Markets Landscape
- The Petroleum Market Outlook Now and into the Future
