The normal length of an interview at the Marketplace is fifteen minutes. Be Punctual. When the bell rings, please move to your next appointment or into the exhibit hall.

After a Shipper's registration forms are completed and submitted to the ECA offices, approximately 4 weeks prior to the Marketplace, each shipper representative will receive Carrier Profiles. These profiles provide pertinent information about the Carrier service capabilities, service territory, equipment and other specific information that shippers require while evaluate any Carrier vendor. The Shipper ranks the Carrier profiles on a weighted scale. The Shippers interview schedule is created from this weighted scale profiling.

The Express Carriers Association's Annual MarketPlace is a true working conference.  Based on the information provided by our vendors, shippers, and carriers, we match them up together for 2 days of intense meetings.  We have had over 6000 meetings with companies that strategically align with each other.  

We recommend listening to the video links below where actual members and attendees discuss why they keep coming back!

During the renewal process each year, members must attest to continued eligibility for membership based on the criteria of being a Carrier, Shipper, or Vendor as defined in the ECA by-laws. Regular auditing of membership records will be conducted.

Membership Refund 

Refunds for ECA membership will only be issued if membership is not approved by the ECA board of directors.  The policy applies to all ECA memberships unless otherwise noted in the corresponding program materials. 

Any questions or cancellation requests may be directed to the ECA management office at 703-361-1058 or eca@expresscarriers.org

A Shipper's cost to attend Marketplace is FREE (not including the fully-refundable $250.00 deposit)! The Carrier members of ECA support Shipper attendance at the show. And, the shipper company also has the opportunity for additional reimbursements. So, cost to the Shipper is minimal compared to the return on investment in meeting quality Carriers from every region of the United States.
