May 2019 represented an engaging and dynamic month for our company.
Our [dexFreight leadership](https://www.dexfreight.io/team?hsLang=en) team participated in some of the most important technological events in the Americas and made new significant business relationships.
### **#Transparency19 | Atlanta, GA | May 6-8**
[Transparency19](https://www.freightwaves.com/transparency19) by Freight Waves, is one of most important industry events. This year gathered over 1,175 attendees from all over the world, including the top decision makers in the Freight Tech industry. The event covered innovation and digitization trends across trucking, logistics, supply chain, blockchain, IoT, telematics and data.
For the first time, Chris Burrus, VP of Transportation Relationships, and Rajat Rajbhandari, Co-founder, publicly demoed dexFreight's Beta logistics application for brokers, carriers and shippers that allows industry players to collaborate more transparently, securely, and efficiently using smart contracts and machine learning algorithms.

"Fragmentation is the root of \[the logistics industry\] inefficiencies" mentioned Chris Burruss during his presentation, "Today, we are creating more silos than we were before."
Our team received positive feedback and interest from potential partners, industry early adopters, and investors.
