The hub
Three tracks of EIL coverage from the Manifest floor, plus the photo + shorts archive.
Track 01 · The team behind the show
Sit-down conversations with the people building Manifest — what shapes the agenda, why product pitches don't make the stage, and how the show actually gets put together.
5 episodes
Tanzil Uddin, SVP of Content & Partnerships, peels back the curtain on the year-long listening tour that builds the Manifest agenda — and the strict no-vendor-pitch rule that keeps it useful.
Featuring Tanzil Uddin
Manifest President Courtney Muller breaks down how the show built an industry-defining creator + influencer program from scratch.
Featuring Courtney Muller
SVP of Partnerships Dan Reiss on how Manifest more than doubled attendance in just a couple of years — by curating the whole supply chain stack (not just freight) and turning the floor into an experience attendees keep coming back for.
Featuring Dan Reiss
Courtney Muller, President of Manifest and Chief Corporate Development Officer at Connectiv, on the strategy behind building 'the most badass event in logistics.'
Featuring Courtney Muller
Conference chair Pam Simon returns to walk through the 2023 Manifest agenda — puppy lounges, autonomous trucks, and a Ludacris concert included.
Featuring Pam Simon
Track 02 · Moderated by Blythe
Live panel discussions I've moderated from the Manifest stage — visibility, AI readiness, and the state of autonomous trucking, with operators in the room.
4 episodes
Most supply chains want AI but few are ready for it. Blythe moderates Cleo CEO Mahesh Rajasekharan, Honeywell's Mike Polich, and Crisp's Adam Anderson on what real readiness looks like.
Featuring Rajasekharan · Polich · Anderson
Blythe moderates a Manifest 2025 panel with Grace Sharkey (FreightWaves), Oana Jinga (Dexory), Nathalie Lallet (Uber Freight), and Rachel Levy (Brooklinen) on AI, automation, and the women rewriting supply chain.
Featuring Sharkey · Jinga · Lallet · Levy
Blythe moderates a multimodal-shipping & international-growth panel with leaders from CMPC, Century Supply Chain Solutions, the U.S. DOT, and ITS Logistics on data quality, standards, and ecosystem collaboration.
Featuring Cunnion · McCullen · Petrisin · Weis
Three of the loudest names in autonomous trucking on the same Manifest stage — what's hype, what's already running freight, and what 'driverless' actually means at scale.
Featuring Kodiak Robotics · Plus · Embark
Track 03 · From the media zone
Conversations filmed in the Manifest media zone with founders, operators, and analysts — the people shaping next year's roadmap, caught between sessions.
22 episodes
Pickle Robot on the unloading robot that's already in live DCs — and why warehouse robotics is finally crossing the chasm.
Featuring Pickle Robot
Torc's path from pilot lanes to scaled driverless freight on the I-35 corridor by 2027.
Featuring Torc Robotics
Sofia Rivas Herrera on how supply chain pros can build a real personal brand — and why it pays off the next time the market turns.
Featuring Sofia Rivas Herrera
A 3PL moving 5,000 containers a year can bleed ~$120K in avoidable detention and demurrage. Vizion's Tyler Hughes on what predictive ETA actually fixes.
Featuring Tyler Hughes
Overhaul CEO Barry Conlon on the sophistication spike in freight fraud, why prevention beats recovery, and how cargo risk became a boardroom issue.
Featuring Barry Conlon
What's actually coming out of Manifest 2026 — no fluff, just what's showing up in real conversations on the floor.
