Event
NMFTA Cybersecurity Conference 2026
NMFTA's annual trucking cybersecurity conference in Long Beach, covering cargo theft, telematics security, and incident response.
The National Motor Freight Traffic Association runs its annual cybersecurity conference September 29 to October 1 at the Marriott Long Beach Downtown in Long Beach, California. NMFTA bills it as North America’s premier cybersecurity event for the trucking industry and the only one built specifically for the sector. The program covers cargo theft, telematics security, AI, incident response, and hands-on training, and draws carrier IT and security staff, CISOs and CTOs, shippers, 3PLs, brokers, OEMs, and security researchers.
Why it matters for the data layer
NMFTA is the body behind freight classification and the digital LTL data standards work. That makes this the room where freight data exchange and telematics security get argued by the same people who write the formats, rather than by a security conference borrowing trucking as a case study. If you integrate carrier or telematics feeds, the arguments here end up in your interfaces.
Two practical notes. The event grew out of what NMFTA used to call its Digital Solutions Conference, and the current event page has dropped that name, so anyone searching the old title should land here instead. It also runs on the same three days as SAE COMVEC 2026, which forces a choice for anyone tracking both the vehicle side and the data side of freight.
