Trade is Transportation

December 9, 2014 @ 6:00 am - 9:30 am

Do you know how your car, iPad, or jogging shoes arrive at your door? Over the course of the year, we will cover the complete chain of events that takes place as your products move across the globe and how each part of the logistical chain is interdependent in the efforts to make the freight system more efficient and competitive. Our speakers will explain their organizations’ roles as well as answer questions about their opportunities for growth and what threatens the expansion of their businesses.

Besides topics like maritime, rail, and other ground transportation, we will cover a few key areas that are associated with the transportation industry, e.g. boarder security, port development issues, education, workforce development, environmental regulations.
