In-Person Learning: Accelerate! & WIT on the Road

While virtual sessions provide flexibility, in-person opportunities create powerful momentum. At WIT’s Accelerate! Conference & Expo, October 25-28 in Dallas, attendees are immersed in education. From keynote presentations and leadership panels to skill-building workshops and industry research sessions, Accelerate! delivers high-impact content designed to inspire and equip attendees at every level of their careers.

WIT on the Road brings the WIT experience to members across the country. These regional events offer focused learning, networking, and practical takeaways in a more localized setting — making it easier for members to connect and grow without extensive travel. The next stop is April 29 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Together, these in-person experiences reinforce what WIT membership is all about: learning in community.

Research That Drives Real Progress

WIT’s research initiatives provide valuable insight into workforce trends affecting women and the broader trucking industry. A cornerstone of this work is the WIT Index, a benchmarking tool that measures the percentage of women in critical roles across the industry.

This year, the WIT Index is being updated to provide even more comprehensive and meaningful data. The refreshed Index will offer expanded insights, helping companies better understand representation, leadership trends, and areas of opportunity.
