Representatives of the Women Leaders of the Transportation Industry initiative announced the third forum of this event, a space that seeks to promote female leadership within an industry that is key to the national economy.

The meeting will take place on September 10 at the Hotel Marquis Reforma in Mexico City, with an agenda that will include conferences, dialogue panels, specialized workshops and the second edition of the awards that recognize outstanding women in the sector.

During the presentation of the event, Arlette Casco , founder of the initiative, highlighted that the project has been consolidating itself in recent years as a platform to make visible the role of women in transportation and strengthen their participation in leadership positions.The goal, he explained, is to create a strategic space for inspiration, training, and networking that fosters collaboration within the industry.

In that regard, she emphasized that the forum’s growth reflects a greater female presence in the sector.

The first edition had 163 women participants , while the second edition had 273 attendees , so the challenge for this year is to bring together 320 participants from different areas of transport and logistics.

The day will include conferences focused on professional development and leadership within the sector. Highlights include a talk on personal branding , given by Irma Soto, Director of Marketing and Strategic Communication at Apymsa, as well as a panel discussion on women in leadership in transportation , where female executives from different segments will share their experiences and the challenges they face in the industry.

As part of this year’s new features, the program will include four specialized workshops designed to strengthen professional skills in key areas of the trucking industry: legal and regulatory matters, business strategies, new technologies, and maintenance and service. These workshops aim to provide practical tools for those involved in decision-making within companies in the sector.

The event will also host the second annual Women Leaders in Transportation (MLA) Awards , which will recognize the achievements and contributions of women in various sectors of the industry. Categories include awards such as Woman Leader, Professional Woman, Breakthrough Woman, and Logistics Woman .

The committee in charge of evaluating the applications will be made up of representatives from the transport sector, industry organizations and specialized media.

During the presentation, the addition of Eva Guerrero, Irma Herrera, and Claudia Sánchez as new partners of the Women Leaders of the Transportation project was also announced, with the aim of strengthening the development of the initiative and expanding its reach within the industry.

At the close of the announcement, Augusto Ramos, president of the National Chamber of Freight Transportation (Canacar) , highlighted the importance of promoting spaces that allow for the visibility of the role of women within freight transportation and strengthen their participation in the growth of the sector.

With this third edition, the forum seeks to consolidate itself as a meeting point for women involved in transport and logistics, promoting training, the exchange of experiences and the building of professional networks within an industry that continues to transform.
