Key takeaways from Transporeon Summit 2025, including highlights from sessions on AI and transportation planning.

After an overnight flight from Boston, where I didn’t sleep much, I landed at 7:30 am in Amsterdam, hopped in an Uber, and after a quick pitstop at the hotel, arrived at Transportation Summit at The Beurs van Berlage with barely an hour to spare before I took the stage.

And so began my fourth Transporeon Summit, the biggest and most productive one yet!

There were almost 800 shippers, carriers, partners, and other attendees at the event, and the two-day agenda included a variety of “Main Stage” and breakout sessions. Obviously, it’s impossible for me to summarize every session at the event, especially since I wasn’t able to attend them all, but I will share some highlights and key takeaways from the sessions I found most interesting.
