DACA at Manifest 2026: Connecting with the Future of Supply Chain and Logistics
Dear DACA Members,
In February 2026, the Distributors and Consolidators of America (DACA) participated in one of the fastest-growing events in the global supply chain industry. Held February 9–11 in Las Vegas, the event brought together thousands of supply chain executives, logistics providers, investors, and technology innovators from around the world.
With more than 7,000 attendees, 400 speakers, and participants from over 60 countries, Manifest has quickly established itself as a premier gathering for professionals shaping the future of logistics, transportation, and supply chain technology.
DACA Representation on the Exhibit Floor
With the help of Kevin Nevison with Davis Cartage Co., Chris Ballard with Pronto Delivery Courier Logistics, and David Fowler with Fowler’s Express serving as the primary booth representatives for the association, they spent the week connecting with attendees, engaging with potential partners, and sharing insights about the strength and diversity of the DACA member network.
Throughout the event, DACA representatives had the opportunity to meet with a wide range of logistics professionals from asset-based carriers and warehousing operators to technology providers and shippers looking for strategic partnerships. The conversations reinforced the value of DACA’s collaborative network and highlighted the growing demand for reliable, asset-based logistics providers.
A Global Gathering for Supply Chain Innovation
Manifest Vegas is designed to bring together the entire supply chain ecosystem. This includes shippers, logistics service providers, technology startups, and investors to explore emerging technologies and industry trends shaping the future of global commerce.
Topics throughout the conference focused on innovation across the end-to-end supply chain, including:
- Artificial intelligence and data-driven logistics
- Warehouse automation and robotics
- End-to-end supply chain visibility
- Sustainability and resilient supply chains
- Technology partnerships between shippers and logistics providers
For DACA members, the event provided a valuable opportunity to stay informed on the technologies and operational strategies influencing the next generation of supply chain management.
Real-Time Updates from the Show Floor
One of the highlights of DACA’s participation in Manifest 2026 was the strong engagement from members across the network. Throughout the event, members attending the conference shared photos and updates directly from the show floor.
These photos were quickly shared through DACA’s LinkedIn page, providing real-time updates to the broader membership and helping showcase the association’s presence at the event.
The live updates received excellent engagement from the logistics community and helped extend DACA’s visibility far beyond the exhibit hall. Members are encouraged to follow and engage with the DACA LinkedIn page (see link below) where photos and highlights from future shows will be located.

Looking Ahead to Manifest 2027
Based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback from members and the valuable connections made throughout the week, DACA has made the decision to return to Manifest in 2027.
The event continues to grow as a major hub for supply chain innovation and collaboration, and DACA looks forward to expanding its presence and participation next year.
For DACA members and partners, Manifest provides an ideal platform to strengthen relationships, explore new industry developments, and demonstrate the collective strength of the DACA network.
