Join us at the CLDA Final Mile Forum & Expo

The annual CLDA Final Mile Forum & Expo (FMF) is the premier logistics event for supply chain leaders operating in the ‎final mile space, and is the year’s best opportunity to expand your knowledge, build your ‎network, and explore the latest products and solutions‎.

Given the recent resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, CLDA leadership announced on January 10, 2022 that this year’s FMF would be postponed out of caution for the health, safety and overall experience that the association plans to deliver to our members, attendees, and the industry at-large during this annual event. The 2022 FMF event will now take place Wednesday, June 29 through Friday, July 1 in the exuberant city of Miami at the Hyatt Regency Miami.

If you registered for the event dates in February, your registration is still valid for the new event dates in June/July and you do not need to re-register.
