5 Benefits of Attending In-Person Conferences Like Trimble's Insight Tech Conference + Expo

Trimble Insight Tech Conference offers transportation professionals an opportunity to get “insights” on key industry and technology trends to help them work more effectively in a connected supply chain. This is the premier tech conference for the transportation industry.

While virtual events have their place, the unique benefits of in person conferences—from networking in hallways to hands-on product demos—are what make this a truly valuable experience. 

Attending our technology conference is the perfect way to stay ahead of the curve, offering unique opportunities to learn about emerging trends and network with peers in the transportation industry. Discover the benefits of attending our tech conference and how it can enhance your knowledge and connections in this dynamic field.

1. Enjoying The Space Between

So much networking and relationship-building takes place in the space between the events – whether it's eating lunch, grabbing a coffee between sessions or running into familiar faces in the hallway. Interactions at Trimble Insight happen in a variety of different ways that cannot be replicated online, including our exclusive “Power of Together” networking sessions each day.

2. Reconnecting with Other People

For some of us, it's the connection on a human level that's so great about attending in-person events. Face-to-face, we're more willing to openly share personal life happenings and business anecdotes. When you’re in direct contact with someone, the dynamic of those conversations changes and can make connections more memorable and meaningful. These are clear benefits of in-person conferences.

3. Staying Checked In    

Attending events in person limits the distractions often associated with attending virtually. It’s easy to lose focus during online events because you’re checking emails or dealing with the everyday distractions of home and office life. By attending Trimble Insight in person, you can truly focus on learning and connecting, without all the other day-to-day distractions. This is a significant advantage of a conference setting.

There’s also the opportunity to check in with our talented staff face-to-face. You can stop by the Insight LAB for hands-on training with Trimble’s experts and get your questions answered. Dozens of technology vendors will also have experts and the latest supply chain solutions up and running for you to demo in the Insight Pavilion. This is a core part of what makes our transportation technology conference a must-attend event for the transportation industry.

4. Realizing Idea Extensions

Attending Insight allows you to not only make connections with people, but to make connections between ideas. If you're in a virtual meeting, your parameters are the four sides of your screen and you may be restricted to whatever the presenter is sharing. 

But in person, you can absorb things in different dimensions. Walking through the Insight Pavilion, you might think, “That's the third booth I noticed that's featuring that new technology. Maybe that's a trend we should look into." You can share these insights with colleagues and peers in real-time to extend the ideas and discussions further than in an online-only forum. This is one of the many benefits of in-person conferences.

5. Exploring Beyond the Sessions

While the conference agenda is packed with valuable content, the event's everchanging and unique locations offer an added benefit. We encourage attendees to take advantage of the host city's unique environment, from enjoying the local culture and cuisine to participating in special networking events. It’s the perfect way to combine professional development with an engaging new experience.
