PHOENIX, April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amid uncertainty across both freight and the broader macroeconomic environment, DAT Freight & Analytics comes to the 2026 TIA Capital Ideas Conference in Phoenix as a one-stop shop for trusted capacity, automation and real-time insights.

“This is the most complete edition of DAT that’s ever come to a TIA conference,” said Kary Jablonski, EVP, Broker Segment and Trucker Tools. “With DAT iQ, Convoy Platform, Trucker Tools, and DAT One all under one roof, brokers can see the full picture of what we’re building for them.”

Main-Stage and Education Sessions

DAT will kick off the conference’s opening session on April 16 with pro football Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher in a conversation on individual performance, teamwork, and the lessons brokers can take from his career and personal journey.

DAT will also hold learning labs to help brokers see how to turn data and automation into a durable advantage. Experts on site include Kary Jablonski, Bill Driegert, EVP of Convoy Platform, and Marcus Womack, CEO of DAT Outgo, DAT’s financial services platform that gives carriers the option to optimize cash flow through factoring and get paid faster.

Customer Meetings, Product Demos and Networking

DAT will host one-on-one meetings and a Thursday-night networking event at the conference hotel. DAT’s booth will also feature a full complement of products for freight brokers:

• DAT One gives brokers a centralized platform for load management, carrier search, network management, and capacity decisions.
• Convoy Platform helps brokers automate spot market transactions while unlocking a network of digital-first carriers.
• DAT iQ delivers the market visibility brokers need to benchmark accurately, price with confidence, and protect margins.
• Trucker Tools provides shipment visibility, tracking, and real-time fraud signals that keep brokers a step ahead of emerging scams.

“For decades, brokers have trusted DAT, and now we’re evolving to serve them better,” Jablonski said. “This means the largest, most secure carrier network in freight, full visibility to give customers peace of mind, market insights based on real freight transactions, and simplified execution to keep pace with a fast-moving industry.”

Brokers should connect with their DAT account representative ahead of the event to schedule time with DAT’s product, analytics, or leadership teams.
