Enhance Your Visibility, Reputation Through TMSA

The Transportation Marketing & Sales Association is the

only association serving marketing, communications and

sales executives in all market segments in transportation

and logistics. Through TMSA, members grow professionally,

expand their industry networks, and gain education on new

trends and issues.

Companies involved with TMSA generate over $500 billion in

revenue and invest sizeable sales and marketing budgets to

maintain and grow their revenue.

Through your membership and sponsorship, you’ll build

relationships with leaders and qualified decision-makers of

this unique marketplace — in part at our 2018 Marketing

& Sales Conference in Ft. Myers, Florida June 10-12.

WHY OUR CONFERENCE THEME IS SO RELEVANT

Everyone wants to sustainably grow profit and revenue, but there is a critical element missing in most companies: Alignment. Organizational alignment between departments and associates reduces friction and accelerates an organization’s growth and success. Alignment of your company’s value proposition and capabilities with your customers’ needs is essential as well.
