[ WHO SHOULD ATTEND ]
Data is changing the way the businesses make decisions — and companies that are able to turn data into insight are winning big. In today’s world, internal innovators must lead the charge, not be swept up by the rising tide of an increasingly technology and data-driven industry.
Traction: The Data-Driven Equipment Conference wants to help your company be at forefront of this data revolution. That’s why we’re bringing together industry leaders from across the heavy equipment landscape, including: construction companies, financial institutions, equipment dealers and manufacturers, for two-days of in-depth learning and training.
At Traction you’ll foster long-lasting, important connections while arming yourself with the latest market insights and product developments. Interactive training sessions will transform current customers into power users of the EquipmentWatch platform. Designed to educate, inform, and inspire, this groundbreaking conference will expand your understanding of what’s next (and what’s possible) for the heavy equipment industry.
From equipment directors and construction CFOs, to project managers and DOT members — no matter your title, level, or role — you’ll walk away inspired, informed, and better connected.
