The NMFTA Cybersecurity Conference returns September 29 through October 1, 2026, at the Marriott Long Beach Downtown just minutes from the Port of Long Beach on the coast of CA. This is the only cybersecurity conference built specifically for the trucking industry. If you work in transportation, or the technology that keeps it moving, this event is not to be missed.
Who Is This Conference For?
The short answer is: if your work touches trucking, this conference is for you.
IT and cybersecurity professionals, trucking executives, cybersecurity students, researchers, and academics will get the most out of this event. Past attendees have included CEOs, CISOs, CTOs, and VP-level leaders from across the transportation sector. Carriers, shippers, third-party logistics providers, brokers, and OEMs are all welcome to attend. Technology providers that serve the trucking industry must sponsor to participate.
If you are responsible for protecting a fleet, managing enterprise risk for a carrier, or building or security-testing technology that touches freight operations, this conference was designed with your job in mind.
Why Should You Attend?
Because the threat landscape is not slowing down, and general cybersecurity conferences are not going to give you what you need.
The 2026 program features keynotes, workshops, fireside chats, hands-on tabletop exercises, and technical sessions that pair strategic insight with real-world application. This is not a vendor showcase dressed up as an educational event. The sessions are built around the operational realities that trucking and logistics professionals actually face.
Beyond the sessions, this conference is where your peers are. Cyber attackers collaborate, reuse tools, and learn quickly from each other. Defensive strategies, by contrast, have historically been fragmented. Events like this one aim to close that gap by creating a trusted forum for candid discussion.
You will leave Long Beach with current research, practical frameworks, and a network of people who understand the specific risks your organization is navigating.
Registration is open now. Secure your seat at the table where the future of trucking cybersecurity is shaped.
