Join the Digital Standards Development Council (DSDC)™ at Manifest 2026 on February 10, 2026, for our annual Membership Meeting—where the future of freight digitalization takes shape.
This year’s meeting brings together leaders from both the Less-than-Truckload (LTL) and Full Truckload (FTL) councils to explore the next chapter of API standard adoption across North America. Attendees will gain exclusive insight into how DSDC standards—like the latest Preliminary Freight Charges (PFC) API—are driving measurable improvements in billing accuracy, data visibility, and process automation across the supply chain.
We’ll look back on a year of major milestones, celebrate council achievements in digital standards adoption, and discuss what’s ahead for 2026 as the DSDC expands its leadership in freight interoperability and collaboration.
Expect a high-energy session featuring updates from the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. (NMFTA)™ and DSDC leadership, insights from early adopters, and a forward-looking discussion on how the LTL and FTL industries can work together to accelerate digital transformation.
This is an in-person event only. The event will not be recorded.
