CHICAGO — The North American Rail Shippers Association has added an online participation option to its annual meeting, to be held in Chicago Sept. 7-9.
“To make attending as convenient as possible we have added online options because we know there is still uncertainty about traveling due to COVID-19,” NARS President Tom Tisa said in a press release. “We’ve put together such a great agenda — we don’t want anyone to miss out.”
New registrants can choose online or in-person options on the online registration form; those who have already registered but would like to change attendance options can do so by emailing nars@railshippers.com.
Speakers for the event to be held at the Sheraton Grand Chicago include Union Pacific CEO Lance Fritz; BNSF CEO Katie Farmer; Canadian National CEO JJ Ruest; Kansas City Southern CEO Pat Ottensmeyer; CSX CEO Jim Foote; Canadian Pacific CEO Keith Creel; and Surface Transportation Board Chairman Martin Oberman.
