The Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) has opened its official Call for Speakers for the show’s 2026 Pro Talks Education Series.
The event, scheduled for March 26-28, at the Kentucky Exposition Center, is seeking thought leaders to provide actionable solutions and insights to the industry’s most pressing issues.
To learn more about this opportunity and to submit a speaker proposal, visit MATS’ official Call for Speakers Page.
The MATS Pro Talks stage offers a platform for companies to establish themselves as trusted leaders by teaching and connecting with a captive audience at their point of greatest need, according to a statement from MATS.
“The trucking industry is looking for answers, and MATS is the place they come to find them,” said Toby Young, President of MATS. “We are looking for experts who can provide not just information, but real-world solutions that our attendees can use to improve their businesses immediately. This is an opportunity to move beyond the exhibit hall and become a vital resource for the entire industry.”
The priority deadline for submissions is Jan. 1. Submissions will continue to be accepted after the priority deadline, but may have limited options for day and time selection.
To ensure the 2026 educational program directly addresses the real-world concerns of attendees, MATS recently surveyed over 50,000 trucking professionals, which includes a diverse mix of owner-operators, fleet executives, and maintenance specialists. The results pinpointed the exact topics MATS attendees want to learn more about. Respondents identified equipment, maintenance, government and Regulations, business, technology, and safety as the most critical areas of interest.
