56th Annual NDTA Transportation and Logistics Forum and Exposition Milwaukee, Wisconsin.I am most pleased to invite you and yours to our 56th Annual Transportation and Logistics Forum and Exposition in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a city of many pleasant surprises. This year's theme acknowledges many prototype programs introduced in the past several years that will be implemented during this millennium. There is also recognition that freight and passenger volumes have outstripped the capacity of our infrastructure.

Period II will have one session, Next Generation Deployment Enablers and Platforms, of two hours and consist of senior representatives of companies who are developing these platforms. All will be interactive sessions so we need your participation. There are many things to see and do in Milwaukee, and I believe we have arranged a number of events that will fall into this category.
